Microsoft Corporation Partners with Advanced Service Solutions, Inc.
"Microsoft Corporation" -- is the world's leading producer of computer software. Microsoft was incorporated in 1981, but the company's roots go back at least as far as 1975, when the first commercially available personal computer appeared on the cover of Popular Electronics. The Altair 8800, as it was called, was a rudimentary system, but it found a market for home-based computers that in turn created a new demand: software to use with them.
We partner with Microsoft, because they are
Microsoft. They own the technological world of
operating systems and business software.
They started in 1975, but when an opportunity
arose...
Bill Gates and his friend Paul Allen
immediately saw the potential. Gates contacted the
company that made the Altair, MITS (Micro
Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems), and offered
to write a program for the new computer. Gates and
Allen created an interpreter for BASIC, then a
mainframe programming language, for use with the
Altair. MITS hired both Gates and Allen in 1975, but
by 1976 they had left to devote more time to their
own fledgling company, Microsoft is the world's

Microsoft's major breakthrough
occurred in 1981 when they furnished an operating
system for IBM's first major entry into personal
computers. Called PC-DOS by IBM, Microsoft also
marketed its own version, MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk
Operating System). The early 1980s saw both IBM's
and Microsoft's fortunes soar: Microsoft dominated
the software market, just as IBM dominated the
personal computer market where the computers of
almost any maker of PCs other than Apple became
known as "IBM-compatible" clones (based on
microchips from Intel).
In 1983, Microsoft
introduced the first Windows operating system.
Heavily influenced by Apple's existing graphical
user interface, Windows was more user-friendly than
DOS. Of Microsoft's succession of Windows operating
systems, Vista is the most recent. The company's
office applications - Word, Excel, Access, and
PowerPoint - have been similarly successful. In
recent years, Microsoft has increasingly turned its
attention to the Internet and the World Wide Web.
Its Web browser, Internet Explorer, has become
dominant. Microsoft's latest business strategy,
known as .NET, is a Web services-based approach to
addressing the needs of business and consumer
markets. One of the aims of .NET is to make all
aspects of computing increasingly Web
browser-oriented.
