Microsoft Mission Statement and Brief History



"At Microsoft, we work to help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential. This is our mission. Everything we do reflects this mission and the values that make it possible."


The Microsoft Corporation is a worldwide corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington USA created to develop and sell a interpreter system for the Altair 8800 micro computer by MITS. The Microsoft Corporation provides a variety of products and services that relate to computer systems. It was founded on April 4th 1975 by today’s well known BILLIONAIR, Bill Gates. The company has been very successful creating 4 actual Billionaires and approximately 12 millionaires in the past Thirty Five years, dominating the home computer operating system market as well as the office suite market. The Micro Soft Disk Operation System was created in the 1980's which led to the dominance in these markets alongside the Microsoft window software in 1986. Microsoft was basically what I call the "Bully" of business that monopolized the computer industry making it so that most computers need Microsoft software in some way to actually work. This also means he’s getting PAID for any computer running his software which is MOST computers! I guess it’s safe to call Bill Gates the "Kingpin" or "Shogun" of Business because he has a good so strong, you almost need it as much as you need water in this day in time...
