We talked about computers on every desk and in every household. It is fantastic to see how much of these dreams has become reality and so many life touches.”
Bill Gates said this sentence in 2006. He symbolizes how Gates further developed an idea for one of the largest companies in the tech industry-and thus also became rich.
On April 4, 1975, Gates founded Paul Allen Microsoft. Hardly anyone can avoid the company in the computer universe. The majority of the personal computers (PC) runs with the Microsoft operating system Windows, the office software Office use more than one billion users worldwide. And thanks to the collaboration with the start-up Openai, Microsoft is also on the rising branch with artificial intelligence. However, the company’s history was not straightforward.
