I have covered Microsoft for 25 years

Microsoft, which launched the world’s first commercial operating system with Windows 95 in October 1995, was founded by Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in Seattle on October 24, 1966. It was later acquired by Oracle for $3 billion by Microsoft in 1994. It has since released over 200 versions of its operating system, including Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows Azure.
