Google doesn't celebrate the history of Writely or Android-pre-Google that much and Microsoft don't promote the history of Excel-pre-Microsoft that much either.

Their celebrations would be more like "10 years ago today we killed the only product of ours that you ever loved."

That’s probably because no such history exists, Excel was always a Microsoft product (even if they aren’t the inventors of spreadsheets).

They were probably thinking of PowerPoint, which did exist before Microsoft acquired it.

You’re right! PowerPoint. I stand corrected.

Sure but Apple does celebrate its products via Newsroom. Hell they even did it for iTunes in 2004
