Bill Gates and the Altair 8080Programming the Altair 8080 was difficult.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen contacted Roberts and offered to sell him BASIC programming language.

Gates and Allen developed the product and formed the company they called Micro-Soft (now spelled Microsoft).Copyright Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.17Texas Education Agency (TEA)1964 IBM System / 360 Mainframe
