The Norton Utilities, Release 1, for DOS became available in 1982. Release 2 came out about a year later for the first hard drives for the IBM PC. Symantec bought Peter Norton's company in 1990 and Peter Norton himself no longer had any connection to the brand or company. Norton Utilities for Macintosh was a separate utility suite for the Mac OS, providing much of the same features as the equivalent Windows version.
