Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program created at a software company named Forethought, Inc.  It was released in 1987.  Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for about $14 million three months after it appeared.  

PowerPoint's market share was very small at first but grew rapidly with the growth of Windows and Office.   Since the late 1990s, PowerPoint's worldwide market share of presentation software has been estimated at 95 percent.

PowerPoint was originally designed to provide visuals for group presentations within business organizations, but has come to be widely used in other communication situations.
