Microsoft initially released Excel to Mac users as a strategic decision.The major spreadsheet program at the time Excel was released in 1985 was called Lotus 123, but it was never developed for Mac users. Instead, Lotus decided to develop a new spreadsheet program for Mac users called Jazz. This is why Microsoft initially released Excel for Mac users. But in the end, Jazz failed miserably, and Excel was later released for Windows users in November 1987. Many tech history buffs believe that if Lotus had simply released 123 to the Mac instead of working on Jazz, we might all be working on Lotus 123 now instead of Excel.
