The current global venture was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on 4th April 1975 with the main motive to produce and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800.

As a result of an arrangement the company made with ASCII Magazine in Japan in August 1977, ASCII Microsoft opened its rst overseas ofce.

In the middle of the 1980s, MS-DOS and then Windows propelled it to the top of the market for personal computer operating systems.

Since the 1990s, it has moved from the operating system industry and acquired a number of businesses.

Microsoft started to reevaluate its products and broaden its product line into computer networking and the World Wide Web after Bill Gates' internal "Internet Tidal Wave letter" on May 26, 1995.

Microsoft released Windows XP on October 25, 2001, combining the NT codebase with the mainstream OS line. Later that year, the company introduced the Xbox, breaking into the Sony and Nintendodominated market for video game consoles.

Microsoft, which was becoming more active in the hardware market after the launching of Xbox, introduced the Zune line of digital media players in 2006 as the replacement to its earlier software platform Portable Media Center.

The Windows Vista released in 2007 featured the security and redesigned user interface dubbed Aero, following with the release of MS Ofce 2007 with the feature of Ribbon user interface.

Throughout the 2011-12 Microsoft restructured its identity with focusing on logo, products, services, etc.

Microsoft released a x for Windows 10 in January 2018 to address CPU issues brought on by Intel's Meltdown security aw. The patch caused problems with the virtual machines running on Microsoft Azure that use Intel's CPU architecture.

On June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced Windows 11.

About Microso

Microsoft is among the most well-known brand brands in business. However, company cofounder Paul Allen originally gave the business the moniker Microsoft, which was a mix of the phrases ``microcomputer" and "software."

3.

Gates planned to rename the original Windows operating system to "Interface Manager" when it was still being developed. The moniker was initially used exclusively internally, with intentions to continue using it when the OS was eventually made available to the general public.

1. 2. 3.

Over the years, Microsoft has used a number of distinctive logos, all of which are instantly identiable. However, the original Microsoft logo was created in less than a day by co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

4.

One of the company's most well-known software offerings is Microsoft Ofce, which includes favorites like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Despite the obvious connection to Microsoft, some people would be surprised to learn that Microsoft Ofce rst appeared on the Mac before moving to Windows.

While the typical Microsoft employee may come to mind as a serious coder, they prefer the seriously adorable moniker "Softie." The average softie is a male American resident who works for a company with more than 180,000 people worldwide.
