Quite a few well-known Windows programs were originally Mac programs, including 
some such as Excel and even Word.... Microsoft was an original Mac-developer, 
releasing a number of Mac programs simulaneously with the January 1984 release 
of the Mac hardware, and got pre-release access to the Mac hardware and 
operating system.

(While there was a Word for DOS prior to the late 1980s release of WinWord, 
WinWord is far more closely related to MacWord than to DOSWord... and Excel was 
originally Mac-only, as were most of the Adobe applications, and others).
