Microsoft, or is it Micro-Soft or MICROSOFT, is a 50 yr. old trans-national
corporation. Whether it has been good or not-so-good for society is
debatable but on the financial-side its been very kind to investors(the
earliest ones anyways). Capitalism certainly owes Microsoft a good nod!
Happy computing.

In a letter to Paul Allen, Bill Gates uses the name "Micro-soft" to refer
to their partnership. This is the earliest known written reference.
