Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1976, and has since evolved into one of the world's leading technology companies. Its first product was a BASIC programming language for the Altair computer, the first personal computer. Despite its primitive interface, this early PC inspired the company's vision of universal computing—"a computer on every desk and in every home." Microsoft paved the way for significant advancements in technology, including operating systems like MS-DOS, which became integral to IBM-compatible PCs.
"When Microsoft was born, it aimed for a computing world where a computer would be in every home and office, an ambition that has largely been realized today."
"The Altair, recognized as the first personal computer, had no keyboard and relied on users flipping switches, illustrating how far technology has advanced since then."
