The most famous and best-selling products are Windows operating system and Office series software. It is the world's largest computer software provider and the leader in the development of personal computer software.

corporate name

The term "Microsoft" consists of "Microcomputer" and "Software". Among them, the source of "Micro" is MicrocomPuter "microcomputer", and "Software" is the abbreviation of "software", named by Bill Gates.

From 1975 to 1979, Microsoft used the company's first LOGO. The second LOGO was used from 1980 to 1981, the third from 1982 to 1986, and the fourth from 1987 to August 22, 2012. Since August 23, 2012, Microsoft has been using new LOGOs.

Incorporation

In 1975, Bill Gates, 19, dropped out of Harvard University and sold BASIC (Beginners' All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) together with his high school alumnus Paul Allen, who also translated Peiji.

Peiji means "beginner's omnidirectional symbolic instruction code, which is a programming language designed for beginners. When Gates was still studying at Harvard University, they used to compile a language for Altair of MITS. Later, Gates and Allen moved to Albuquerque and founded Microsoft in a local hotel room.

Microsoft Products

operating system

MS-DOS: An early product of Microsoft Corporation, it is a command line interface. Early versions of Windows should run under MS-DOS, but Windows NT and later products can run without MS-DOS. However, Microsoft continues to launch Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me transitional products running under MS-DOS at the same time because the software and hardware of users cannot operate normally under Windows NT.
