This is a fantastic find for a vintage software collector. Because this is the Promotional Sample version of Microsoft Excel 4.0 (1992), it carries a higher level of "niche" collectibility compared to the standard retail box. These were typically sent to reviewers or high-volume corporate accounts before the official launch.

Detailed Item Description

This is a comprehensive, near-complete "Promotional Sample" box set of Microsoft Excel Version 4.0 for Windows, released in 1992.

• Format: This specific "Dual Media" set is highly desirable because it includes both 5.25" (1.2MB) and 3.5" (1.44MB) high-density floppy disks.

• Condition: Based on the photos, the box shows some light shelf wear (consistent with "Very Good" condition). The manuals and disks appear remarkably clean and well-preserved.

• Contents Included:

• Outer Slipcase/Box with "Promotional Sample – Not For Resale" stickers.

• Manuals: User's Guide 1 & 2, Function Reference, Tools Quick Reference, and "Switching to Microsoft Excel from Lotus 1-2-3."

• Disks: Full sets of both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks (marked as Promotional Samples).

• Inserts: Microsoft Software License Card and the iconic yellow "Want the address of the most important person at Microsoft?" marketing insert.
