MITS, an electronic hobbyist kit maker in Albuquerque, NM.
Microsoft BASIC, it was for the MITS Altair 8800 kit.
The first personal computer, often credited to be the Altair 8800, was introduced in 1975 by Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). The design was created by Ed Roberts and his team, and it became a significant milestone in the development of personal computing. The Altair 8800 sparked interest in the burgeoning personal computer market, leading to the eventual creation of software like Microsoft BASIC by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
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.
The availability of integrated circuits made the first personal computer possible in 1977 when Steve Jobs (1955- ) and Steve Wozniak (1950- ) introduced the Apple II.
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.
It was the first personal computer.

I think it is Ada Lovelace!
In fact, the invention of the telephone and lightbulb is very controversial. The Altair computer was originally developed by Ed Roberts.

Henry Edward Roberts designed the Altair 8800 personal computer. This very computer inspired Bill Gates and Paul Allen to enter the software business.
