Where did the idea of Microsoft come from?

Answer 1

Around 1980, Microsoft was a small software company that signed a deal with with computer giant IBM to develop the disc operating system for the new IBM PC. The software was to be known as PC-DOS (personal computer disc operating system).

Included in the deal was permission for Microsoft to sell virtually the same product under their own name of MS-DOS. Very soon after the PC was released by IBM, other companies began to clone the IBM and so the start of the PC industry was triggered. Although there were other operating systems that would run the new IBM clones, MS-DOS was seen as the fully compatible one to use.

From a tiny software house, Microsoft was launched into huge organization that it is today.
