In the early 1970’s two young men stumbled upon what would one day, be one of the top companies within its market. Paul Allen and Bill Gates, founders of Microsoft Corp, had a vision that every household would own a personal computer, and they were going to be the ones to help make that possible through the development of computer software. Microsoft was first able to get a foot in the market when IBM approached them in June of 1980 about developing an operating system for their new line of personal computers. Microsoft’s first system developed was named “Ms-Dos” a revolutionary operating system that was the bridge, which IBM was looking for between the computer hardware and programs. (Source 1). Due to the complexity of the system, Microsoft was forced to deliver a new system which was more user friendly Two years later the start of the windows, which we know today, was born. The amazing thing about Windows was the ability to use a mouse to click on multiple screens within the operating system, and also the ability to utilize more than one program at a time, without having to open and close each program. Within the next few years, Windows 2 was released, increasing the speed and capabilities of the operating system. Gates and Allen, did not stop there, since the first version of Windows, Microsoft released many newer, updated version of the operating system that were revolutionary in their time period.
