Bill Gates and his childhood friend Paul Allen reunited to make Microsoft with the intention of creating software for the Altair 8800. They both relinquished their golden opportunities; Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and Paul Allen left a promising job of being a computer programmer to make this company. This was a company they truly believed in and moved it from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Bellevue, Washington because Bellevue was the place both Gates and Allen grew up in. Gates and Allen moved it to their hometown in 1979, following the end of 1978 when Microsoft’s sales topped more than a million dollars. The company relocated once again in to Redmond Washington. Moving outside Washington could have caused Microsoft many problems with the high level of competition.
