Microsoft Home was a complete line of easy-to-use software applications for personal use produced by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Home software titles first appeared in the middle of 1993. These applications were designed to bring multimedia to Microsoft Windows and Macintosh personal computers and, by 1994, more than 60 products were available in the Microsoft Home line. The range of software catered for many different consumer interests from gaming with Microsoft Arcade and Entertainment Packs to reference titles such as Microsoft Encarta, Bookshelf and Cinemania. Shortly after the release of Microsoft Windows 95, the company began to reduce the price of Microsoft Home products and by 1998, Microsoft began to phase out the line of software. Today, Microsoft Home products can still be found on eBay every once in a while, and they are beginning to fetch collector prices. However, some of them are available for download on the Internet.
