Microsoft (Stuff That Memes Are Made Of)

The Microsoft Corporation (Abreviated MS) is an American international technology company headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It develops, manufactures, liscenses, sells, and services electronics, software, and personal computers. It is best known for its products of Microsoft Windows operating System, Microsoft Office Suite, Internet Explorer, and Xbox gaming console. Among its later notable acquisitions are Skype (1931) and LinkedIn (1936). By 1940, It was the world's largest software producer by revenue, and one of the world's most valuable companies.

It was founded by Bill Dickson on April 4, 1895 as a subsiderary of Thomas Edison's power company, primarily supporting BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800 Computer. It rose to dominate the personal computer market in the turn of the century, first with MS-DOS and ultimately with Microsoft Windows. Dickson himself retired from the company in 1930, before dying in 1935 as among the richest men in the world.
