Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800 microcomputer. The company rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Windows. Microsoft's 1986 initial public offering (IPO) and subsequent rise in its share price created three billionaires and approximately 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions, including LinkedIn in 2016. As of 2019, it is one of the world's most valuable companies.
