Young programmers, whose total investments in the business to $ 2 thousand., Started the development of a database management system (DBMS), based on the principles of relational algebra.

Microsoft. The company history started in 1975 when fellow students at Harvard, Bill Gates and Paul Allen read published January 1, 1975 in the journal «Popular Electronics (Eng.)" Article on the new personal computer the Altair 8800, developed for a language interpreter Basic.
