The earliest workstation applications (as opposed to mainframe) I remember seeing a lot of were DisplayWriter, WordStar, Multimate and Word Perfect (yuck) word processing software, Aldus PageMaker and Ventura graphical desktop publishing, Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets and Borland and dBase databases. The platforms were variously MS-DOS, PC-DOS, CP/M, early Windows, GEM, OS/2, Pick and Mac.

When did they start to have the functionality seen in the clip ?
Surprised me it was already around in 2008 and didn't seem a huge deal even then

Sibelius music notation software (as used by students and professional musicians around the world) was started in 1993, so it goes back a way.
