| Description | Windows continued to improve with each new release and to gain traction. Windows 286 and Windows 386 were increasingly successful and by 1988, Microsoft had become the world's largest PC software company based on sales. Although adoption of the Windows platform had increased, it wasn't universal, and so Microsoft promoted bundling the installation software for Windows in applications like PageMaker, which helped disseminate the OS into more and more offices and homes. The Windows platform was beginning to gain traction, and Microsoft's technical evangelists were working hard to encourage developers to write Windows applications. In part, developers hated Microsoft in the early days of Windows because of their policy of consolidating Office applications into bundles, which made it harder for independent developers to compete. IBM had long ago lost interest in the personal computer space, and Apple was on the decline. |
