Chapter one Microsoft
1.1 Microsoft Corporation
an American multinational technology company with headquarters in Redmond, Washington. It
develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics,
personal computers, and services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows
line of operating systems, the Microsoft Office suite, and the Internet Explorer and Edge web
browsers. Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox video game consoles and the Microsoft
Surface tablet lineup. As of 2016, it is the world's largest software maker by revenue, [4] and
one of the world's most valuable companies. [5] The word "Microsoft" is a portmanteau of
"microcomputer" and "software”. [6]
1.2 History
Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates 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,
[7] followed by Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in May 2011. [8]
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. [9] 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. [10] This began with the acquisition of Danger Inc. in 2008, [11] 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. [12] [13]
