Microsoft is a multinational computer technology corporation. Microsoft was founded on April 1975, by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, its current best-selling products are the Microsoft Windows operating system. In 1980, Microsoft formed a partnership with IBM to bundle Microsoft's operating system with IBM computers. In 1985, IBM requested Microsoft to develop a new operating system for their computers called OS/2. Microsoft produced that operating system, but continued to sell their own alternative, which proved to be in direct competition with OS/2. Microsoft Windows overshadowed OS/2 in terms of sales; when Microsoft launched several versions of Microsoft Windows in the 1990s, they had captured over 90% market share of the world's personal computers. As of June 30, 2015, Microsoft has a global annual revenue of US$86.83 Billion and 128,076 employees worldwide. It develops, manufactures and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. In late 1974, Paul Allen, a programmer at Honeywell, was walking through Harvard Square when he saw the cover of the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics that demonstrated the Altair 8800, the first microcomputer.

Allen bought the magazine and rushed to Currier House at Harvard College, where he showed it to high school friend Bill Gates. They saw potential to develop an implementation of BASIC for the system. Gates called Altair manufacturer Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems, offering to demonstrate the implementation. Allen and Gates had neither an interpreter nor an Altair system, yet in the eight weeks before the demo, they developed an interpreter with the help of Monte Davidoff; when Allen flew to Albuquerque to meet with MITS, the interpreter worked and MITS agreed to distribute Altair BASIC. Allen moved to Albuquerque, Gates soon quit Harvard to join him, they co-founded Microsoft there. Revenues of the company totalled $16,005 by the end of 1976. Allen came up with the original name of a portmanteau of microcomputer and software. Hyphenated in its early incarnations, on November 26, 1976 the company was registered under that name with the Secretary of State of New Mexico; the company's first international office was founded on November 1, 1978, in Japan, entitled "ASCII Microsoft", on November 29, 1979, the term, "Microsoft" was first used by Bill Gates.

On January 1, 1979, the company moved from Albuquerque to a new home in Bellevue, since it was hard to recruit top programmers to Albuquerque. Shortly before the move, eleven of the then-thirteen employees posed for the staff photo on the right. Steve Ballmer joined the company on June 11, 1980, would succeed Bill Gates as CEO from January 2000 until February 2014; the company restructured on June 25, 1981, to become an incorporated business in its home state of Washington. As part of the restructuring, Bill Gates became president of the company and chairman of the board, Paul Allen became executive vice president. In 1983, Allen left the company after receiving a Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis, though he remained on the board as vice-chairman. Microsoft's early products were different variants of Microsoft BASIC, the dominant programming language in late 1970s and early 1980s home computers such as Apple II and Commodore 64, were provided with early versions of the IBM PC as the IBM Cassette BASIC.

Microsoft marketed through an Apple dealer in West Palm Beach, Florida two products for the Radio-Shack TRS-80. One was "Typing Tutor"; the other was authored by a professor at the University of Hawaii called "MuMATH" and had the ability to do mathematics in long integer math to avoid floating point numbers. The first hardware product was the Z-80 SoftCard which enabled the Apple II to run the CP/M operating system, at the time an industry-standard operating system for running business software and many compilers and interpreters for several high-level languages on microcomputers; the SoftCard was first demonstrated publicly at the West Coast Computer Faire in March 1980. It was an immediate success; the first operating system publicly released by the company was a variant of Unix announced on August 25, 1980. Acquired from AT&T through a distribution license, Microsoft dubbed it Xenix, hired Santa Cruz Operation in order to port/adapt the operating system to several platforms; this Unix variant would become home to the first version of Microsoft's word processor, Microsoft Word.

Titled "Multi-Tool Word", Microsoft Word became notable for its use of "What You See Is What You Get", or WYSIWYG pioneered by the Xerox Alto and the Bravo text editor in the 1970s. Word was first released in the spring of 1983, free demonstration copies of the application were bundled with the November 1983 issue of PC World, making it one of the first programs to be distributed on-disk with a magazine. However, Xenix was never sold to end users directly although it was licensed to many software OEMs for resale, it grew to become the most popular version of Unix, measured by the number of machin

The CRFU Cornwall Cup is an annual rugby union knock-out cup club competition organised by the Cornwall Rugby Football Union first played for in 1896 but only since 1969. It is open for teams based in Cornwall that are ranked below the national leagues but above the Cornish regional divisions. Tier 9 to 10 clubs have their own competition in the Cornish Clubs Cup; until 2006–07 all of the top rugby union teams in Cornwall including the Cornish Pirates and Redruth played in the competition, up until the formation of the Cornwall Super Cup in 2007–08. Although the Cornwall Super Cup is now a two-legged competition between only two sides, the national Cornish clubs have kept away from the CRFU Cornwall Cup as the demands of the modern game have increased over the years; the current format is as a knock-out cup with a 1st round, quarter-final, semi-final and final, held at a neutral venue in April. Due to the odd numbers of teams involved, several teams receive byes during the early stages.
