From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   killer app   The application that actually makes a sustaining
   market for a promising but under-utilized technology.   First used in
   the mid-1980s to describe Lotus 1-2-3 once it became evident that
   demand for that product had been the major driver of the early
   business market for IBM PCs.   The term was then restrospectively
   applied to VisiCalc, which had played a similar role in the success
   of the Apple II.   After 1994 it became commonplace to describe the
   World Wide Web as the Internet's killer app.   One of the standard
   questions asked about each new personal-computer technology as it
   emerges has become "what's the killer app?"
