Word 1.1 is the catalyst that got me to try Windows. I was familiar with word for DOS at the time, and the potential of proportional fonts and OS-level printer drivers caught my imagination - it was the future, I was sure. It didn't hurt that I got a promotional copy for cheap with Windows bundled. I still have the floppies around somewhere.
Many years later, and I'm still writing Windows programs. Excellent strategy on Microsoft's part.
Nice to see this hugely transformative software available in an archive.
