April 4, 1975; first product was Microsoft BASIC interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800. As the standard Altair 8800 kit came with only 256 bytes of RAM and the interpreter, loaded from paper tape, took 4K bytes of RAM; a very big upgrade of the hardware was needed immediately to use Microsoft's software. A tradition continued to this day.
