[edit] Creator notes

I make no assertion about the notability of the topic, although I expect it can be defended easily enough - popular press iterations with a similar structure surely abound - but rather created this to get some of the crufty list-style content out of the main article.

Thank you for splitting up the long Microsoft Office article. However, I am not sure this is the best move, while I was proposing split into History of Microsoft Office which might be better in my opinion. What about renaming this page to History of Microsoft Office and removing the section "Current version for Windows" as it doubles information with Microsoft Office 2007#Editions?--Kozuch (talk) 10:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there was almost no historical content in this article. Calling it a list of components was much more accurate, as that was all that was moved. There is so little prose content in the Office article that if an editor did wish to expand on its history that they should do it there, first IMHO. MrZaius^talk 12:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
