Software Trivia
Sometimes we all work too hard and need to take a break and have fun.
Therefore, I have a trivia question for you. You may have to put your thinking caps on or hop into your wayback machine to find this.
What was the first word processor ever developed to be run EXCLUSIVELY in a Windows environment and who released it?
Hint 1: It was never a DOS application. It was never a Macintosh application. It required Windows from its initial release, Version 1.0
Hint 2: Dont bother searching the Virtual Dr archive, you wont find the answer there
Hint 3: Its still around
Any ideas?

Do you mean a full-fledged Word processor or would notepad or works suffice. I would assume that one of those was the first as they were released with Windows.
