MICROSOFT

“Microsoft Corporation’s history traces back to its founding in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen,” initially concentrating on software development for personal computers. The company gained traction with its early success, notably with the Altair BASIC interpreter tailored for the Altair 8800 microcomputer. This achievement propelled Microsoft into a prominent position in the evolving software industry. In 1980, a pivotal moment arose when Microsoft struck a significant deal with IBM to provide an operating system for their forthcoming personal computer.”This led to the birth of MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System)”, laying the groundwork for Microsoft’s future operating systems and solidifying its dominance in the PC market.

‘Another milestone arrived with the introduction of Windows 3.0’ in 1990, revolutionising the computing experience with its graphical user interface and multitasking capabilities. “Windows swiftly emerged as the leading operating system for personal computers,” firmly establishing Microsoft as a technology frontrunner. “Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Microsoft expanded its product lineup with offerings like the Microsoft Office suite and Internet Explorer web browser, further enhancing its presence in the software market.”Today, “Microsoft remains a powerhouse in the technology industry, continuing to innovate across various domains, from artificial intelligence and quantum computing to gaming and augmented reality,” while also emphasising sustainability and corporate responsibility in its operations industry, driving innovation across various products and services while retaining its position as a leader in the field.
