Microsoft was founded in 1975, during the recession in 1973-75, Bill Gates. Chasing a dream of seeing a computer on every desk and every home running on the Microsoft software, Gates wanted to fill the gap with his products. Microsoft started to dominate the home computer operating system market by introducing MS-DOS in the mid-1980s. The introduction of Microsoft Office saw Microsoft reining the office suite also. With revenue of $17.37 billion, Microsoft is creating waves by entering into the Videogame, internet telephone services with the acquisition of Skype, and the mobile platform with its Windows 7 Mobile phones.
