Microsoft
Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT, HKEX: 4338) is a United
States-based multinational computer technology
corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses,
and supports a wide range of software products
for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond,
Washington, USA, its most profitable products
are the Microsoft Windows operating system and
the Microsoft Office suite of productivity software.
The company was founded to develop and sell BASIC
interpreters for the Altair 8800. Microsoft rose
to dominate the home computer operating system
market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed
by the Windows line of operating systems. Its
products have all achieved near-ubiquity in the
desktop computer market. One commentator notes
that Microsoft's original mission was "a
computer on every desk and in every home, running
Microsoft software." Microsoft possesses
footholds in other markets, with assets such as
the MSNBC cable television network, the MSN Internet
portal, and the Microsoft Encarta multimedia encyclopedia.
The company also markets both computer hardware
products such as the Microsoft mouse as well as
home entertainment products such as the Xbox,
Xbox
360, Zune and MSN TV. The company's initial
public stock offering (IPO) was in 1986; the ensuing
rise of the company's stock price has made four
billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires
from Microsoft employees. (Credit:
