- How it start? Pioneers of MICROSOFT Bill Gates and Paul G. Allen 1975 made a basic programming language for a personal computer. Afterwards, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM) requested them to make an operating system for their personal computer.

The process of making and installing software continued and by the mid of 1990’s Microsoft was noted as one of the most profitable companies in America.

The world was near the 21st century so as technology and the commercialization of network systems and the internet as well.
