Co-founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen to develop and market BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800, Microsoft emerged as a dominant force in PC operating systems with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, succeeded by Windows. Between 1980 and 2021, the company released nine MS-DOS versions (median interval: 2 years) and thirteen Windows versions (median interval: 3 years). Its 1986 IPO and subsequent stock growth created three billionaires and approximately 12,000 millionaires among employees. Since the 1990s, it has diversified beyond operating systems. Steve Ballmer succeeded Gates as CEO in 2000, overseeing the 2011 acquisition of Skype Technologies (then Microsoft’s largest deal), a hardware push leading to the 2012 debut of its in-house Surface PCs, and the formation of Microsoft Mobile through Nokia.
