I remember a version of PageMaker also came with Windows. [0]

"Until May 1987, the initial Windows release was bundled with a full version of Windows 1.0.3; after that date, a "Windows-runtime" without task-switching capabilities was included"

I actually thought it was cut-down, but it only had task-switching disabled.
