Iyini i-Altair esekelwe esigabeni?
Context:Abangane bobuntwana uBill Gates noPaul Allen babefuna ukwenza ibhizinisi besebenzisa amakhono abo ekuhleleni ama - computer. Ngo-1972, basungula i - Traf-O-Data, eyayidayisa i - computer eyisisekelo yokulandelela nokuhlaziya idatha yomgwaqo wezimoto. UGates wabhalisa eHarvard University ngenkathi u-Allen ephishekela iziqu zesayensi yamakhompyutha eWashington State University, yize kamuva eyeka ukusebenza eHoneywell. Umagazini kaJanuwari ka-1975 we-Popular Electronics waveza i-Altair 8800 microcomputer ye-Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), eyagqugquzela u-Allen ukuba aphakamise ukuthi bangakwazi ukuhlela umhumushi we-BASIC wedivayisi. UGates wabiza i-MITS futhi wathi wayenomhumushi osebenzayo, futhi i-MITS yacela ukuboniswa. U-Allen wasebenzela i-simulator ye-Altair kuyilapho uGates ayesungula umhumushi, futhi yasebenza ngokungenaphutha lapho beyikhombisa i-MITS ngo-March 1975 e-Albuquerque, eNew Mexico. I-MITS yavuma ukuyisakaza, yayithengisa njenge-Altair BASIC.: 108, 112<unk>114 UGates no-Allen basungula iMicrosoft ngo-Ephreli 4, 1975, noGates njenge-CEO, futhi u-Allen wasikisela igama elithi "Micro-Soft", okuyisifinyezo sesoftware yama-micro-computer. Ngo-Agasti 1977, inkampani yakha isivumelwano ne-ASCII Magazine eJapane, okwaholela ehhovisi layo lokuqala lamazwe omhlaba le-ASCII Microsoft. I - Microsoft yathuthela indlunkulu yayo eBellevue, eWashington, ngo - January 1979.
I-Altair okukhulunywe ngayo esigabeni kwakuyi-microcomputer eyakhiwe yi-Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems's (MITS). Igama layo elisemthethweni lalingu-"Altair 8800 microcomputer". I-Altair BASIC kwakuyihumushi elakhiwa uBill Gates futhi laboniswa eMITS ngoMashi 1975 e-Albuquerque, eNew Mexico. UPaul Allen naye wasebenza esivivinyweni se-Altair.
