About Microsoft:

In 1975 Bill Gates founded Microsoft along with Paul Allen. It is an American multinational
technology company with its headquarter in Washington and earns a net income of US$16.79 billion.
Skype and LinkedIn have been acquired by Microsoft for $8.5 billion and $26.2 billion respectively.
The idea initially was to manufacture only computers but soon they delved into software and
Operating System segments, and thus introduced Windows and other such Microsoft Software.

Microsoft Corporation is a leading developer of PC software. It is best known for

its Windows operating system, the Microsoft Office family of productivity software plus services, and
the Visual Studio IDE. The company also publishes books (through Microsoft Press) and video
games (through Xbox Game Studios), and produces its own line of hardware. The following is a list
of the notable Microsoft software applications.
