Microsoft's first software was a a BASIC programming language interpreter that they created for the MITS Altair 8800 computer in 1975. Microsoft developed Applesoft BASIC for the early Apple computers (the name being a combination of Apple and Microsoft) before moving on to operating systems first with their UNIX clone called XENIX in 1980 and Windows in 1986.
Apple did not make the first personal computer. A company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) produced a kit in 1975 that you could assemble into the Altair 8800 microcomputer which is considered to be the first personal computer. The sales of this computer were higher than expected which indicated that there was a demand for personal computers. This inspired Apple and many others to start developing and selling their own brand of personal computers.
The first computer which was intended to be sold to individuals as opposed to companies was the Altair 8800, which was sold in kit form in 1975 for $439.
