The history of Microsoft
Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who had been friends since they were kids. They both loved computer programming, so they started their company in 1975. They'd seen a computer in a magazine, and thought taht they could do some programming forit.
They worked on putting together a demonstration, and it worked so well that the company that made the computer they were inspired by said they'd distribute their product.
Over the years, Microsoft grew and grew and today it's a giant in the technology world - and in the world in general! They've kept up with changing technology trends and still managed to stay relevant.
