Компания начинает свою историю с 19

Компания начинает свою историю с 1975 года, когда друзья-студенты Гарварда Билл Гейтс и Пол Аллен, прочитав опубликованную 1 января 1975 года в журнале «Popular Electronics (англ.)» статью о новом персональном компьютере Altair 8800, разработали для него интерпретатор языка Basic. Через месяц, 1 февраля, было подписано лицензионное соглашение с компанией Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), производителем этого ПК, об использовании Basic в составе ПО для Altair. Свою компанию они думали назвать "Аллен и Гейтс", но посчитали что это больше подходит для юридической конторы, и тогда Пол предложил — Micro-Soft, от microprocessors и software. Свой первый год новая компания, в которой работало три человека, закончила с оборотом $16 005. (для сравнения: в 2000 году выручка корпорации составила $25,3 млрд, а прибыль — более $7,3 млрд).

В начале 1980-х годов пути двух основателей компании разошлись: по воспоминаниям Аллена, в то время как он не хотел посвящать всю свою жизнь Microsoft, Гейтс был полностью сконцентрирован на работе и развитии компании. По настоянию Гейтса, партнёры неоднократно пересматривали свои доли в бизнесе, причём Аллен уступал в пользу Гейтса.
