The concept of Microsoft Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft) is one of the largest multinational companies that produces proprietary software for various types of computing equipment — personal computers, game consoles, PDAs, mobile phones. it is the developer of the most widely used software platform in the world at the moment - the Windows family of operating systems.

History of creation The company begins its history in 1975, when friends-Harvard students bill gates and Paul Allen, after reading an article published on January 1, 1975 in the magazine "Popular Electronics" about the new Altair 8800 personal computer, developed an interpreter for the Basic language for it. A month later, on February 1, a license agreement was signed with Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems, the manufacturer of this PC, to use Basic AS part of the software for Altair. They were thinking of calling their company Allen & gates, but they thought it was more appropriate for a law firm, so Paul suggested Micro — Soft, from microcomputer and software.
