Microsoft did not name the computer. They named a popular operating system that runs on computers called Windows.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "computer" was first used to describe a mechanical calculating device in 1897. Although the word existed previously, it had been used to describe "a person who computes or performs calculations."
