Happy 25th Birthday Microsoft Office.

On the 1st August, Microsoft Office turned 25 years old.

Microsoft Office has come a long way since its first release on 1st August 1989 which consisted of Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Now, Office 2013 is part of Office 365, and woven into the fabric of the cloud. It is available on a wide variety of devices, from PC, to Smartphone and Tablets. Recent additions to the office family include collaboration software such as Yammer, Lync, SharePoint to OneNote for note-taking.

To celebrate 25 years of Office, Microsoft are searching out the stories of how people are using Office to achieve great things in a series called behind_the.docs. This can be followed on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.  If you have a story about what you’ve accomplished with Office over the years, you can share it using the hashtag #behindthedocs
