Microsoft Write For Atari ST
In 1986, Atari announced an agreement with Microsoft to bring Microsoft Write to the Atari ST.
Unlike the Windows version, Microsoft Write for the Atari ST was the Atari version of Microsoft Word 1.05 released for the Apple Macintosh while sharing the same name as the program included with Microsoft Windows during the 80s and early 90s. While the program was announced in 1986, various delays caused the program to arrive in 1988. The Atari version was a one time release and was never updated unlike the Windows versions which were updated minimally.
Microsoft Write for the Atari ST retailed at $129.95 and was one of two high profile PC applications that were released on the Atari platform (the other application was WordPerfect).

Famous quotes containing the word write:
“His courtesy was somewhat extravagant. He would write and thank people who wrote to thank him for wedding presents and when he encountered anyone as punctilious as himself the correspondence ended only with death.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
