Microsoft, founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975, began as a company that developed and sold BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800, one of the first personal computers. Its breakthrough came in the 1980s when it partnered with IBM to provide the MS-DOS operating system for IBM PCs. In 1985, Microsoft launched its flagship product, Windows, a graphical extension of MS-DOS, which would revolutionize personal computing. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Microsoft expanded its product line to include Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, and Xbox, solidifying its position as a global technology leader. Today, it remains one of the largest and most influential tech companies in the world.
