MS Power Point &its exiting features

1. MS-Power point

2. Creation
Of MS-Power point PowerPoint was created by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin at a
software startup in Silicon Valley named Forethought, Inc. Forethought
had been founded in 1983 to create an integrated environment and
applications for future personal computers that would provide a graphical
user interface, but it had run into difficulties requiring a "restart" and new
plan.
On July 5, 1984, Forethought hired Robert Gaskins as its vice president of
product development:51 to create a new application that would be
especially suited to the new graphical personal computers, such
as Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh. Gaskins produced his initial
description of PowerPoint about a month later (August 14, 1984) in the
form of a 2-page document titled "Presentation Graphics for Overhead
Projection. "By October 1984, Gaskins had selected Dennis Austin to be
the developer for PowerPoint. Gaskins and Austin worked together on the
definition and design of the new product for nearly a year, and produced
the first specification document dated August 21, 1985. This first design
document showed a product as it would look in Microsoft Windows
1.0, which at that time had not been released.

3. Throughout this development period, the product was called "Presenter." Then, just
before release, there was a last-minute check with Forethought's lawyers to register
the name as a trademark, and "Presenter" was unexpectedly rejected because it had
already been used by someone else. Gaskins says that he thought of "PowerPoint",
based on the product's goal of "empowering" individual presenters, and sent that name
to the lawyers for clearance, while all the documentation was hastily revised.
Funding to complete development of PowerPoint was assured in mid-January 1987,
when a new Apple Computer venture capital fund, called Apple's Strategic
Investment Group, selected PowerPoint to be its first investment.:169–171 A month
later, on February 22, 1987, Forethought announced PowerPoint at the Personal
Computer Forum in Phoenix; John Sculley, the CEO of Apple, appeared at the
announcement and said "We see desktop presentation as potentially a bigger
market for Apple than desktop publishing".
PowerPoint 1.0 for Macintosh shipped from manufacturing on April 20, 1987, and
the first production run of 10,000 units was sold out
