Tech History Made on April 4, 1975

On this day in 1975 Bill Gates and Paul Allen formed a partner ship. That partnership went on to become Microsoft Corporation. Gates was 19 and Allen was 22 but youth did not stop their endeavors. They developed MS-DOS 1.0 for use on IBM's personal computers. The company's stock did not go public until 1986 and has grown 140 times the original value. Whether you love them or love to hate them Microsoft is a huge part of computer history.
