Wasn't Microsoft originally founded by Bill Gates and another person? Why is he the only one who is famous now? He has become the richest man in the world. What about that guy?

1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded their own Microsoft company. As the founder, Allen owns 40% of the shares. When he first entered the business world, Allen noticed the importance of PC operating system, and successfully obtained the right to use SCP-DOS from Seattle Computer Company, which enabled IBM to confirm the strength of Microsoft, a humble small company, so as to cooperate with IBM and lay the foundation for obtaining the ownership of SCP-DOS in the future. It can be said that Allen made Microsoft take the first step of success.

After that, with the efforts of two people, Microsoft gradually became stronger. DOS has become the preferred operating system for personal computers.

Unfortunately, in 1982, Allen and Bill finished their last job for Microsoft: a new basic language, so they had to leave Microsoft because he was diagnosed with some kind of cancer syndrome and later started their own company. But he still holds shares in the company and is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft.

Bill Gates' brilliance masked paul allen's achievements, but as the founder and the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, he was undoubtedly successful. He has made great contributions to the rapid development of Microsoft and the computer industry. When we talk about Bill Gates and Microsoft, we should not forget paul allen's genius contribution and outstanding achievements to Microsoft.
