Microsoft Bookshelf was a Reference collection introduced in 1987 as part of Microsoft 's pioneering work in promoting CD-ROM technology as a distribution medium for Electronic Publishing . The original MS-DOS version showcased the massive storage capacity of CD-ROM technology, and was accessed while the user was using one of 13 different word processor programs that Bookshelf supported. Subsequent versions were produced for Windows and became a commercial success as part of the Microsoft Home brand. It was often bundled with Personal Computers as a cheaper alternative to the Encarta Suite. CONTENT |
