Normally few technology companies reach a mature age, many do not even pass the first year of life, an age like 41 years. But it is true that Microsoft from the beginning, although tough, indicated that it would be a great company with a great future.
Today precisely, April 4, Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded the Microsoft company ago 41 years in Albuqueque, New Mexico. A company that at that time sold the BASIC Altair interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800 personal computer.
The founding of Microsoft was 41 years ago but it is still as alive as when it was born with Bill Gates
As you can see, the founding moments were hard and they would not receive help until years later, when the company was brought to where it is today, in Redmond. Surely many of you know the story of Bill Gates and Microsoft, a story with a lot of shadows and chiaroscuro but also with quite a few hits where the DOS operating system it played a very important role for the future financing of new projects that would mark the course of Microsoft, such as the famous Office or Windows 3.1.
Today, fortunately or unfortunately, there is very little left of that, of those beginnings and of that foundation. Today Windows rules at ease over the Microsoft company and its users they no longer see the famous blue screens that accompanied the first versions of Windows.
But it is still curious and endearing to be able to remember the beginnings of a company that we all know and that it really affects our daily lives so much Because thanks to Microsoft, many of us can create official presentations for future projects, develop personal applications or simply rent a movie without having to leave home or without carrying it around. Of course they are important things and it all began 41 years ago, on this day, April 4, 1975. What were you doing back then?
