Company Profile
Microsoft Corporation is anAmerican multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops,
manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer
software, consumer
electronics and personal computers and services. Its best known software
products are the Microsoft
Windows line of operating systems, Microsoft Office office suite, and Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers. Its flagship
hardware products are the Xbox game consoles and the Microsoft Surface tablet lineup. It is the world's largest software maker by revenue, and one of the world's most valuable companies.
Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill
Gates on April 4, 1975, to
develop and sell BASIC interpreters for Altair
8800. It rose to dominate the personal
computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows. The
company's 1986 initial
public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created three
billionaires and an estimated 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. In May 2011,
Microsoft acquired Skype
Technologies for $8.5 billion in
its largest acquisition to date, and
in June 2016 announced plans to acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 billion.
As of 2015, Microsoft is
market dominant in both the IBM
PC-compatible operating system
(while it lost the majority of the overall operating system market to Android) and office software suite markets (the latter with Microsoft Office). The company also
produces a wide range of other software for desktops and servers, and is active
in areas including Internet
search (with Bing), the video game industry (with the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox
One consoles), the digital
services market (through MSN),
and mobile phones (via the operating systems of Nokia's former phones and Windows
Phone OS).
In June 2012,
Microsoft entered the personal computer production market for the first time,
with the launch of the Microsoft
Surface, a line of tablet
computers.
With
the acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division to form Microsoft Mobile Oy, the company
re-entered the smartphone hardware market, after its previous attempt, Microsoft Kin, which resulted from
their acquisition of Danger Inc.
The
word "Microsoft" is a portmanteau of "microcomputer" and
"software".
