Excel is a microsoft product. Microsoft's approach is to take existing concepts
and re-package them. (e.g., MSDOS followed most of the conventions of RT-11 and
RSX-11, Windows used a lot of the conventions of Mosaic and DecWindows) It did
not introduce most of the concepts in Excel. NPCalc was using a visual
spreadsheet before Microsoft or PC's existed. VisiCalc introduced the visual
spreadsheet to PC's.
