Microsoft, founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975, is the biggest software company in the world with headquarters located in Redmond, Washington in the US.
It has an annual sales rate of $97.58 billion. This multinational company produces various technology products, including: electronics, computer software, and personal computers.
In May of 2011, Microsoft purchased Skype Technologies and in December of 2016, went on to purchase Linkedin. Although Microsoft’s growth was originally centered around personal computer operating systems, it has since lost a large share of that market to Android.
It has, however, grown in the IBM-PC compatible operating systems and the office software suite markets.
