Paul Allen after MS (History)

Quoting:
"To the public, Allen’s identity will always be tied to his role in the creation of Microsoft. In 1975, Allen convinced childhood pal Bill Gatesthat they should develop a programming language to help make computing more accessible to more people. Their larger goal of a computer on every desk took several years to realize, but that initial project set the company on its way.

Gates and Allen became a sort of boy-wonder duo that built Microsoft into an important software company. But following a bout with cancer in 1982, Allen decided the clashes with Gates were wearing on him emotionally and went on his world tour.

He never returned to Microsoft. What followed holds lessons and a cautionary tale for entrepreneurs who will leave their businesses at some point. "

Allen and Gates founded Microsoft Corp. in 1975. Microsoft's big break came in 1980, when IBM Corp. decided to move to personal computers. IBM asked Microsoft to provide the operating system.

The decision thrust Microsoft onto the throne of technology and the two Seattle natives became billionaires. Both later dedicated themselves to philanthropy.

Gates said he was heartbroken about the loss of one of his "oldest and dearest friends.''

"Personal computing would not have existed without him,'' Gates said in a statement."
