1. Go to your school’s computer lab or a PC software store and experiment with current
versions of any two of the Quattro, Excel, or Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet programs. Write a brief
paragraph summarizing the similarities and differences in the “look and feel” of these two
programs.
As what as I
observe there’s a lot of similarities including the functionality are the same.
The interface of Excel and Lotus are almost the same the function of the input
type in keyboard and mouse are the same. But on the insert bar of lotus are
different compare to excel which is intact and lot of functions found on Menu
bar to be use. But overall most of them have similarities.

2. The courts took several years to reverse their initial decision and rule in favor of Borland.
What impact did this delay have on the software industry? How might things have been
different if Borland had received an initial favorable ruling?
The spreadsheet will not be as popular before. Lotus 1-2-3 will be as popular as it would be.
-----------------------------------------
3. Assume that you are the manager of Borland’s software development. With the benefit of
hindsight, what different decisions would you have made about Quattro?
Qauttro will be popular and will let people to try first Quattro.
