The development of Cello started in 1992, with beta versions planned for June 1993 and a release for July 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/News/9305.html|title=May World-Wide Web News|work=[[World Wide Web Consortium]]|access-date=8 June 2010}}</ref><ref name="Sheppard2007">{{Cite book|first=Steve |last=Sheppard|title=The history of legal education in the United States: commentaries and primary sources|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XQgrjw9qiqcC&pg=PA1186|access-date=28 March 2010|date=April 2007|publisher=The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.|isbn=978-1-58477-690-1|page=1186}}</ref><ref name="pioneering">{{cite web|url=http://1997.webhistory.org/historyday/abstracts.html|title=WEB HISTORY DAY: PIONEERING SOFTWARE AND SITES|publisher=[[The World Wide Web History Project]]|access-date=28 March 2010}}</ref> It was publicly announced on 12 April 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q2/0048.html|title=Plans for cello MS-Windows client|last=Bruce|first=Thomas R.|date=12 April 1993|access-date=28 March 2010}}</ref>

The [[Legal Information Institute]] at [[Cornell Law School]] created the first law site on the
Internet in 1992 and the first legal [[website]] in 1993. However, at the time, there were no [[web browser]]s for the [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system, which was used by most lawyers. Thus, to allow lawyers to use their website, the Legal Information Institute developed the first Windows-based Web browser.<ref name="Ambrogi2004">{{Cite book|first=Robert J. |last=Ambrogi|title=The essential guide to the best (and worst) legal sites on the Web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y4oETB8_EbIC|access-date=28 March 2010|date=1 June 2004|publisher=ALM Publishing|isbn=978-1-58852-117-0|page=22|chapter=Chapter 3: The Best (and Worst) Legal Sites on the Web|chapter-url=http://www.law.com/pdf/sfb/WorstCh03.pdf}}</ref><ref name="Okin2005">{{cite book|first=J.

Although other browsers at the time were based on [[CERN]]'s WWW libraries called [[libwww]], PCs of the time were not powerful enough to run the UNIX-oriented code.<ref name="pioneering"/> As a result, Thomas Bruce had to rewrite most of the WWW libraries to work on [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref name="pioneering"/> Unlike most commercial browsers at that time, Cello used none of [[Mosaic (web browser)|Mosaic]]'s source code and thus had a different look and feel.<ref name="Shang-Chul Pak">{{cite thesis |last1=Pak |first1=Sean Sang-Chul |title=Scheme for identifying and describing behavioral innovations embodied in computer programs |date=1996 |publisher=Massachusetts Institute of Technology |hdl=1721.1/40608 |type=Thesis }}</ref><ref name="Vaughan-Nichols1995">{{Cite book|last=Vaughan-Nichols|first=Steven J.|title=Inside the World Wide Web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3IMV7TgH-igC|access-date=4 June 2010|date=September 1995|publisher=New Riders |isbn=978-1-56205-412-0|pages=186–187}}</ref>

Steven Sinofsky, president of the [[Windows (operating system)|Windows]] division at [[Microsoft]] wrote in a June 1994 email: ''We do not currently plan on any other client software [in the upcoming release of Windows 95], especially something like Mosaic or Cello.''<ref name="antitrust doj">{{cite web|url=https://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f2600/2613-1.htm|title=U.S. v.
