Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft):
In the middle of 1975, after the spectacular success of Bill Gates and Paul Allen with the Mets, the two decided to create a special partnership to develop their programs, they call the “Micro-Soft” and this is the name of the words “Microcomputer” and “Software”.

Bill Gates owned 60% of the size of the company while the Paul Allen on the remaining 40%, and protested Bill for the largest share of the reordering of the work in the company, while Paul was still full-time employees a company the Mets. Program was the interpreter (BASIC-interpreter), developed by Microsoft during this period of the theft and illegal copying by hackers, angering Bill Gates paid to write a message to the pirates in the newspaper company meets the periodic “An Open Letter to Hobbyists”, condemns the theft and piracy emphasizes the right programmer to get the price of his accomplishments through the sale of programs. As a result of this letter hostile reactions among the piracy. In contrast, the Bill on many of the messages with suggestions for solving the problem of piracy, one of which contained a program inside the chip “read-only memory (ROM)”, and thus become the program lines are engraved inside the chip of silicon, instead of entering the computer through a paper tape , which makes the theft virtually impossible, and this was the best solution in the eyes of Bill Allen, and decided to apply in next time. Indeed, Microsoft has developed a program interpreter for the Commodore global company, and was included in the program for the first time on the ROM chip for the Commodore-bit computer (Personal Electronic Transactor-Commodore PET).

With the end in 1976, Microsoft officially been registered as an independent company, and earnings of approximately 104 thousand and U.S. $ 216. Paul Allen, who resigned from the company meets the full-time work at Microsoft, and Microsoft continued to develop programs for different systems.

Partnership with IBM:
In 1980, IBM launched the World (IBM – International Business Machine Company) project known as the Manhattan Project (Manhattan Project) to manufacture a new personal computer known as the PC “IBM” for use in homes and offices, the company was in need of an operating system to the new computer; therefore contacted the Microsoft’s trying to get on the system. But Microsoft were not possess an operating system ready in time, so she proposed operating system CP / M and developed by the company “Digital Research”, and has already worked for a firm proposal to the Bill and IBM representatives went to meet the Company Keldal Gary (Gary Kildall), founder of “Digital Research “But a quirk of fate that fails this meeting, it was not originally Gary Mtwajadda time meeting where he had boarded a plane for an interview for another customer!!!

And returned IBM to request the assistance of Bill Gates, and this time he decided to meet their needs and provide them with a personal operating system is required. Stood up to Bill Gates and Paul Allen to buy the full rights of the operating system ready QDOS (Quick & Dirty Operating System) from the developer of the system programmer Tim Paterson (Tim Paterson), who was working at the Seattle company Computer Products (Seattle Computer Products) for U.S. $ 50000 – did not announce Microsoft at the time for Seattle’s real reason to buy this system – This system was appropriate to work with the Intel processor used in the manufacture of a computer “PC IBM”. And Microsoft has rebranded the system initially to become a “PC-DOC”.

In the partnership agreement concluded between Microsoft and IBM, Bill Gates insisted that Microsoft’s exclusive provider of operating systems for each personal computer, a subsidiary of IBM, in the sense that IBM is barred from contracting with any other software company for the purchase of operating systems for their products. In contrast, Microsoft is entitled to retain full rights to develop and sell its own operating system for those who want the individuals or companies in an attempt to dominate the software market.
