It took business software to make things happen. ( MS Word, Excel)

Mmmm. Available for the Mac some 5 years before there was a Windows
version. I was using Word 4 on the Mac in the mid 80s or so, well before
there was anything other than a joke version of Windows. Excel was
released as a Mac program two years before any Windows version. Things
like FrameMaker and PageMaker (since replaced by InDesign) were
developed on the Mac too, as there was no other decent GUI-based system
at the time.

Interleaf was around a long time before Framemaker, maybe 10 years.
