development and create an industry standard to be followed by all.
In July of 1980 IBM, a $30 billion dollar giant in the computing industry, offered
Microsoft Corporation, who at the time consisted of a staff 40 (Cashman, 1.37), the
opportunity to design a new operating system for their new IBM ?personal? computer.
IBM had observed an increased market for the personal computer for quite some time
eventhough they had already failed once trying to tap the market with their IBM 5100.
IBM had considered several options regarding the development of their new personal
computer including buying a little known computer game company named Atari. In the
end, IBM decided that they would proceed with their plans to build a new computer line
with a new operating system. On August 12th, 1981 IBM introduced a new computer
called the IBM PC. The ?PC? was short for ?personal computer? making IBM
responsible for the acronym ?PC? (?Inventors?).
Microsoft bought the rights to the another operating system called Q-DOS (Quick
and Dirty Operating System) from Seattle Computer Products for $50,000 without the
company ever knowing that it was for the behemoth IBM (Delany). Bill Gate?s of
Microsoft would talk IBM into allowing his company to retain the rights to market the
MS-DOS (MicroSoft Dirty Operating System) operating system separate from the IBM
PC project. In the agreement IBM would be allowed to use the operating system free of
charge while Microsoft would ?sell? licenses to use the operating system to other
computer manufacturers. By 1984 Microsoft had licensed MS-DOS to 200 personal
computer manufacturers, making MS-DOS the standard operating system for personal
computers and driving Microsoft’s enormous growth in the 1980s that would lead to huge
profits for Microsoft.
After the introduction of the personal computer, sales skyrocketed from 275,000
in 1981 to 3,275,000 in 1982 (Cashman, 1.52). Every software manufacturer would begin
to make their software compatible with Microsoft?s operating system. It would now
become every computer manufacturers goal to make the PC as user friendly and
affordable as possible and nearly every computer manufacturer would accomplish this by
the 90?s. Computers would soon be in our homes and schools as well as our businesses.
In 1982 Microsoft would begin to develop business applications for personal
computers and Multiplan, a spreadsheet application, was introduced. Microsoft would
follow in 1983 with it?s release of Microsoft Word, a wordprocessing application. It was
also in 1983 that Microsoft would start developing the multi-windowed enviroment we
now know as Windows (Microsoft Corporation).
Microsoft did not rest on their laurels. In 1984 Microsoft would be one of the few
software developers to support the Macintosh, a personal computer developed by Apple
Computer Company. Their support of the Mac would result in enormous success of their
Word, Excel and Works application software. Multiplan for MS-DOS would succumb
to the popularity of another application heavy hitter Lotus 1-2-3, developed by the Lotus
Development Corporation which would be acquired by IBM in the 1990?s (Microsoft
In 1985 Microsoft would introduce it?s first version of Windows, a graphical user
interface, (GUI) that enhanced the user friendliess of MS-DOS. A GUI combines text,
graphic, and other visual clues to make software easier to use (Cashman, 1.38). Windows
allowed the user to open applications by clicking on pictures or icons instead of typing
long tedious strings of file names within various paths. Critics wondered if the GUI
would ever catch on but Microsoft perserveared eventhough Windows was slow to gain
acceptance. In 1990 a new improved Windows version 3.0 was introduced. Aided with
more powerful processors and a greater variety of software and pumped up with a $10
million advertising promotion Windows would sell more than 4 million copies in one
year. Microsoft would introduce a networking version of Windows called Windows NT.
This would become the most popular version of the Windows products in the world
commanding more than 25 million users worldwide (Cashman, 1.37).
A recent survey by the U.S. Census Bureau published on September 1999
indicates that there almost 37.5 million computers in the home in the United States as of
October 1997(?Computer?, U.S. Census). Schools that have computers make up a
combined total of more than 8 million (?Computer?). Almost ninty percent of personal
computers sold in the United States and around the world use a Microsoft operating
system (Cashman). With a ninty percent market share of operating systems Microsoft is
dominating the industry here and abroad. It?s quite a magnificent accomplishment
considering the meager beginnings. It?s no wonder Microsoft is the computer industry
giant setting the standards for other software developers around the world.

Paul Allen and Bill Gates founded the Company in 1975.
Microsoft is best-known American company involved in software production. Microsoft's wealth and power is growing up for years. It is a giant company. Microsoft's $25 billion market value tops that of Ford, General Motors.
Some time ago, Microsoft dominated the PC market with its-MS-DOS operating system, the basic software that let the computer understand your commands and carry them out, appeared in the beginning of 80s. MS-DOS ran on 90 percent of the worlds IBM and IBM-clone computers. Then, Microsoft has extended that presence with releasing of Windows, which is probably the most important and popular operating system in the World. And now it dominates the market.
Firstly, Microsoft released Windows '95 in 1995. It was a graphics interface environment that ran on top of MS-DOS and replaced DOS in future versions. Then, Microsoft released Windows '98, Windows NT, Windows Millennium, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Microsoft also supplies about 50 percent of the world's software applications. Among them, there are three well-known Office Packs; they are also called Microsoft Office programs such as Excel (spreadsheets), Microsoft Word (word processing), Access (databases) and Outlook Express (e-mail)- There were releases in 1997, 2000, and 2002, when appeared Microsoft Office XP. Microsoft is also in the market of networking, multimedia and even books. And as an early supporter of the Macintosh computer, Microsoft virtually owns the Mac application market.
It has been calculated that Microsoft controls 80-85 % of the entire PC software industry. The company has hundreds of products and thousands of employees, making it one of the largest companies. Many of the company's shareholders are now millionaires and a few including Bill Gates and Paul Allen are billionaires. Microsoft is no doubt the fastest growing company in the PC software industry.

History of creation The company begins its history in 1975, when friends-Harvard students bill gates and Paul Allen, after reading an article published on January 1, 1975 in the magazine "Popular Electronics" about the new Altair 8800 personal computer, developed an interpreter for the Basic language for it. A month later, on February 1, a license agreement was signed with Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems, the manufacturer of this PC, to use Basic AS part of the software for Altair. They were thinking of calling their company Allen & gates, but they thought it was more appropriate for a law firm, so Paul suggested Micro — Soft, from microcomputer and software.
Activity Microsoft Corporation is a manufacturer of a wide range of software and hardware. it is known worldwide primarily for operating systems of the Windows family, as well as programs for working with documents of the Microsoft Office family. Today, the Corporation produces a variety of products: server software kits, games, software development tools, and Xbox game consoles.

Business culture Microsoft is often characterized by the fact that its business culture is built around developers. A huge amount of money and time is spent every year on recruiting young SOFTWARE developers who have been trained at universities and keeping them in the company. To select the right people and give them the opportunity to get to know their future employer better, Microsoft uses a number of special techniques. So, when candidates get to the company's head office, they find themselves in a special zone called "experience Microsoft". In this zone, you can get acquainted with Microsoft's technological innovations and demonstrate videos in which employees talk about their experiences.
