It all started on a snowy day in December 1974. After buying the new issue of Popular Electronics in Harvard Square, Paul Allen rushed to show it to his best friend from Seattle, Bill Gates. The magazine's cover story featured the Altair 8800, the first true personal computer. Allen knew that he and Gates had the skills to code a programming language for a personal computer. Much has been written about Microsoft's early years but no one can tell the real story except Allen and Gates.
