Informix Wingzとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Wingz was a spreadsheet program sold by Informix in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Originally developed for the Macintosh, it was later distributed on Microsoft Windows, OS/2, NextStep and several other commercial flavors of Unix. Informix, used to selling a single relational database package for thousands of dollars per site, apparently never really understood the idea of mass marketing shrinkware and was unable to break the monopoly held by Microsoft Excel even though Wingz was technically superior and easier to use. Informix eventually gave up on the desktop market and reverted solely to database sales in the mid-1990s. Claris also sold an extensively cleaned up version as Claris Resolve in 1991, but it was far too late to market to have any effect.
