Microsoft offers a wide range of products and services for business and personal use.

Microsoft products are available in more than 30 languages and sold in more than 100 countries.

Microsoft would also come to dominate the office suite market with Microsoft Office. The

company has diversified in recent years into the video game industry with the Xbox and its

successor, the Xbox 360 as well as into the consumer electronics and digital services market with Zune, MSN and the Windows

Phone OS. The ensuing rise of stock in the company's 1986 initial public offering(IPO) made an estimated three billionaires and

12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employees (Forbes 400 list revealed that in March 2011 both Jon Shipley and Nathan Myhrvold lost

their billionaire status). In May 2011, Microsoft Corporation acquired Skype Communications

for $8.5 billion.

William Henry "Bill" Gates IIIWilliam Henry "Bill" Gates III  is an

American business magnate, investor, philanthropist, and author. Gates is the former

CEO and current chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's

wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008,

when he was ranked third. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO

and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with 6.4 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books. Gates is one of the

best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized

for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which

has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates

has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money

to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

Microsoft History Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and

Paul Allen when they wrote a software program for the MITS Altair, which is considered one of the first personal computers

Microsoft’s first office in Albuquerque was located at the Sundowner Motel on Route 66; later it was relocated next door to a vacuum cleaner shop

Paul Allen and Bill Gates, childhood friends with a passion in computer programming, were seeking to make a

successful business utilizing their shared skills. The January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics featured Micro

Instrumentation and Telemetry System's (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer. Allen noticed that they could program

a BASIC interpreter for the device; after a call from Gates claiming to have a working interpreter, MITS requested a demonstration. Since they didn't actually have one, Allen

worked on a simulator for the Altair while Gates developed the interpreter. Although they developed the interpreter on a simulator and not the actual device, the interpreter worked flawlessly when they demonstrated the interpreter to MITS in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March 1975; MITS agreed to distribute it, marketing it as Altair BASIC.[4] They officially

established Microsoft on April 4, 1975, with Gates as the CEO. Allen came up with the original name of "Micro-Soft," as recounted in a 1995 Fortune magazine article. In

August 1977 the company formed an agreement with ASCII Magazine in Japan, resulting in its first international office, "ASCII Microsoft".[6] The company moved to a new home

in Bellevue, Washington in January 1979
