Here are some key points about it:
Release Date: Microsoft Word 2.0 for Windows was released in 1991. There was also a version for DOS released earlier in 1985.
Platform: The Windows version was designed for Windows 3.0, making it a 16-bit application.
Features: It included a graphical user interface (GUI) setup program, which was quite advanced for its time3. The DOS version added support for IBM’s Extended Graphics Adapter (EGA), enhancing its visual capabilities.
Competition: At the time, Word 2.0 was competing with other popular word processors like WordStar, Multimate, and WordPerfect.
This version of Word was part of the early efforts to create a more user-friendly and visually appealing word processing experience, setting the stage for the more sophisticated versions that followed.
