4. MICROSOFT HISTORY
Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April
4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair
8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating
system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed
by Microsoft Windows. The company's 1986 initial public
offering (IPO), and subsequent rise in its share price,
created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000
millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it
has increasingly diversified from the operating
system market and has made a number of corporate
acquisitions, their largest being the acquisition
of LinkedIn for $26.2 billion in December 2016,[8] followed
by their acquisition of Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in
May 2011.[9]

5. As of 2015, Microsoft is market-dominant in the IBM PC-
compatible operating system market and the office
software suite market, although it has lost the majority of
the overall operating system market to Android.[10] The
company also produces a wide range of other consumer
and enterprise software for desktops and servers,
including Internet search (with Bing), the digital services
market (through MSN), mixed reality (HoloLens), cloud
computing (Azure) and software development (Visual
Studio)
Steve Ballmer replaced Gates as CEO in 2000, and later
envisioned a "devices and services" strategy.[11] This began with
the acquisition of Danger Inc. in 2008,[12] entering the personal
computer production market for the first time in June 2012 with
the launch of the Microsoft Surface line of tablet computers; and
later forming Microsoft Mobile through the acquisition of Nokia's
devices and services division. Since Satya Nadella took over as
CEO in 2014, the company has scaled back on hardware and has
instead focused on cloud computing, a move that helped the
company's shares reach its highest value since December
1999.[13][14]
