Its core functionality includes a [[word processor]], a [[spreadsheet]] and a [[database management system]]. Later versions have a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases include a [[terminal emulator]]. Works is available as a standalone program and as part of a namesake home productivity suite. Because of its low cost, companies frequently preinstalled Works on their low-cost machines. Works is smaller, less expensive, and has fewer features than contemporary major office suites such as [[Microsoft Office]]. Mainstream support for the final standalone and suite release ended on October 9, 2012, and January 8, 2013, respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Microsoft Works - Microsoft Lifecycle |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/microsoft-works |access-date=4 January 2023 |website=learn.microsoft.com |language=en-us}}</ref>
