Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: Ko nga hoa o te tamarikitanga a Bill Gates me Paul Allen i whai ki te hanga pakihi ma te whakamahi i o raatau pukenga i te rorohiko rorohiko. I te tau 1972 i whakatūria e rātau tā rātau kamupene tuatahi, ko Traf-O-Data, i hokona ai tētahi rorohiko taketake hei aroturuki, hei tātari hoki i ngā raraunga waka. I a Gates e whakauru ana ki Harvard, i whai a Allen i tetahi tohu mo te putaiao rorohiko i te Whare Wananga o Washington State, ahakoa i muri mai ka wehe ia i te kura ki te mahi i Honeywell. Ko te putanga o Hanuere 1975 o Popular Electronics i whakaatu i te Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems's (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer, i whakaaweawe a Allen ki te whakaaro ka taea e raatau te whakarite i tetahi kaiwhakamaori BASIC mo te taputapu. I muri i te waea mai a Gates e kī ana he kaiwhakamāori e mahi ana, ka tono a MITS i tētahi whakaaturanga. I te mea kaore ano kia kotahi, i mahi a Allen i runga i te simulator mo te Altair i te wa i whakawhanakehia ai e Gates te kaiwhakamaori. Ahakoa i whakawhanakehia e ratou te kaiwhakamaori i runga i te simulator, ehara i te taputapu pono, i mahi tika i te wa i whakaatuhia ai e ratou te kaiwhakamaori i te Maehe 1975 ki MITS i Albuquerque, New Mexico. I whakaae a MITS ki te tohatoha, me te hokohoko hei Altair BASIC. I whakatuhia e Gates me Allen a Microsoft i te Paenga-whāwhā 4, 1975, me Gates hei Tumuaki. Ko te ingoa taketake o "Micro-Soft" (he poto mo te raupaparorohiko rorohiko iti) na Allen i whakaaro. I te marama o Akuhata 1977, i whakarite te kamupene i tetahi kirimana me te ASCII Magazine i Japan, i hua mai i tana tari tuatahi o te ao, "ASCII Microsoft". I nekehia e Microsoft tana tari matua ki Bellevue, Washington i te Hanuere 1979.I uru a Microsoft ki te pakihi punaha whakahaere (OS) i te 1980 me tana ake putanga o Unix, i huaina ko Xenix. Heoi, ko te MS-DOS i whakapakari i te mana o te kamupene. Whai muri i nga korerorero me Digital Research i rahua, i whakawhiwhia e IBM he kirimana ki a Microsoft i te Noema 1980 ki te whakarato i tetahi waahanga o te CP / M OS, i whakaritea hei whakamahi i te IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) e haere ake nei. Mo tenei kirimana, i hokona e Microsoft he kape CP / M e kiia ana ko 86-DOS mai i nga Hua Rorohiko o Seattle, i tapaina e ia ko MS-DOS, ahakoa IBM...  Pātai: I hokona mai i a wai te dos?
