Forethought for $14 million and turned it into its graphics business
unit, where the company continued to develop the software. The

only allowed slide progression in one direction – forward – and
the amount of customization was fairly limited.

progression and go on with the presentation without pausing to
change or read the slides. PowerPoint 2007 introduced the
"ribbon" interface, marking a drastic change from the previous
interface style.
