History

• Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul
  Allen
• The two founders were first introduced to
  computers at Lakeside Prep school, where they
  attended Middle school.
• They both became so intelligent about computers
  that they hacked the system and changed and
  deleted important files. As a result, they were
  banned from using the computers.
• They were later being hired to find bugs and
  weaknesses in the system.

  at a steady rate according to the stock market.

  because it was really interesting to find out how
  it was founded.
