U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Xigashada Sawirka: Saaxiibada carruurnimada Bill Gates iyo Paul Allen ayaa isku dayay in ay ganacsi sameystaan iyagoo ka faa'iideysanaya xirfadahooda la wadaago ee barnaamijyada kombiyuutarka. 1972 waxay aasaaseen shirkadoodii ugu horeysay, Traf-O-Data, kaasoo iibiyay kumbuyuutar si uu ula socdo una falanqeeyo xogta baabuurta. Intii Gates uu dhiganayay Harvard, Allen wuxuu shahaadada cilmiga kombiyuutarka ka qaatay jaamacadda Washington State University, inkasta oo uu markii dambe ka baxay iskuulka si uu uga shaqeeyo Honeywell. Sanadkii 1975 bishii Janaayo ee Popular Electronics ayaa lagu soo bandhigay Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems's (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer, taas oo Allen ku dhiirrigelisay inuu soo jeediyo inay barnaamij u sameyn karaan turjubaan BASIC ah aaladda. Kadib wicitaankii Gates ee ahaa in turjubaan shaqeynayo, MITS waxay dalbatay tusmo. Maadaama aysan weli haysan mid, Allen wuxuu ka shaqeeyay jilitaanka Altair halka Gates uu sameeyay turjubaanka. Inkastoo ay sameeyeen turjubaan ku salaysan mashiinka jilitaanka ma ahan aaladda dhabta ah, waxay si fiican u shaqaysay markii ay ku soo bandhigeen turjubaanka Maarso 1975 MITS ee Albuquerque, New Mexico. MITS waxay ogolaatay inay qaybiso, waxay u suuq geysay Altair BASIC. Gates iyo Allen waxay si rasmi ah u aasaaseen shirkadda Microsoft 4-tii Abriil, 1975, iyadoo Gates uu ahaa madaxa shirkadda. Magaca asalka ah ee "Micro-Soft" (oo loo soo gaabiyo barnaamijyada kombiyuutarada yaryar) waxaa soo jeediyay Allen. Bishii Agoosto 1977 shirkaddu waxay heshiis la gashay ASCII Magazine ee Japan, taasoo keentay xafiiskeedii ugu horreeyay ee caalamiga ah, "ASCII Microsoft". Microsoft waxay xarunteeda u wareejisay magaalada Bellevue, Washington bishii Janaayo 1979. Microsoft waxay gashay ganacsiga nidaamka hawlgalka (OS) 1980 iyadoo la soo saartay nooceeda gaarka ah ee Unix, oo loo yaqaan Xenix. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay ahayd MS-DOS oo xoojisay awoodda shirkadda. Kadib markii ay fashilmeen wadahadaladii ay la yeesheen Digital Research, IBM waxay Microsoft siisay qandaraas bishii Nofeembar 1980 si ay u siiso nooc ka mid ah CP / M OS, kaas oo loo dejiyay in loo isticmaalo IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC). Heshiiskan, Microsoft waxay ka iibsatay CP/M clone la yiraahdo 86-DOS oo ka timid Seattle Computer Products, oo ay ku calaamadeysay MS-DOS, in kasta oo IBM...  Su'aal: Yaa laga soo iibsaday daroogada?
