Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I te tau 1975, i Albuquerque, New Mexico, ka tiimata a Allen me Gates ki te hoko i tetahi kaiwhakamaori reo papatono BASIC. I puta mai a Allen me te ingoa taketake o "Micro-Soft" (he huinga o te "microcomputer" me te "raupaparorohiko"), e ai ki te tuhinga a te maheni Fortune 1995. I te 1980, i muri i te oati a Microsoft ki te tuku IBM i tetahi punaha whakahaere kōpae (DOS) mo te IBM PC taketake, ahakoa kaore ano kia whakawhanakehia e raatau tetahi, i arahi a Allen i tetahi kirimana mo Microsoft ki te hoko QDOS (Pūnaha Whakahaere Tere me te Kino), i tuhia e Tim Paterson, i taua wa, i mahi i nga Hua Rorohiko Seattle. Hei hua o tenei whakawhitinga, i taea e Microsoft te whakarite i tetahi kirimana ki te tuku i te DOS ka mutu ka rere i runga i te raina PC a IBM. Ko tēnei kirimana me IBM i whakamatau i te rerenga wai i roto i te hītori o Microsoft i arahi ki te taonga me te angitu o Allen me Gates. I mahue a Allen i a Microsoft i te tau 1982 whai muri i tana whiwhinga i te mate lymphoma Hodgkin. I kii a Gates ki a Allen kia hoatu ki a ia etahi o ana hea hei utu mo te nui o te mahi a Gates. E ai ki a Allen, i kii a Gates na te mea "i mahi ia i nga mea katoa i runga i te BASIC", me wehewehe te kamupene 60 <unk> 40 hei painga ki a ia. I whakaae a Allen ki tenei whakaritenga, i korerohia e Gates i muri mai ki te 64 <unk> 36. I te 1983, i ngana a Gates ki te hoko i a Allen mo te $ 5 mo ia hea engari i kore a Allen ka waiho te kamupene me ana hea kaore i pakaru. Na tenei i riro ai a Allen hei piriona piriona i te wa i uru mai ai a Microsoft ki te iwi. I whakarere a Allen i tana tuunga i te poari kaiwhakahaere o Microsoft i te Noema 9, 2000. I noho tonu ia hei kaitohutohu rautaki matua ki nga kaiwhakahaere o te kamupene. I te marama o Hanuere 2014, kei te pupuri tonu ia i te 100 miriona hea o Microsoft.  Pātai: He aha te kamupene i whakarite i tētahi kirimana?
Ko te Microsoft
