TRANSCRIPTION:

The company was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. They met when they were students, by their liking of programation. This same year the MITS( Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems ) company anounced that they had a new computer, the first personal computer. Then Bill Gates and Paul Allen developed the first version of the interpreter for that computer and sold it. In that moment was when Bill Gates let the Harvard university and founded Microsoft with Paul Allen. At first Microsoft was a company which design interpreters for others companies. But in 1980, obtained a contract from IBM that asked for a new OS for the IBM PC. That contract had a problem, they only had one year to design that new OS and they couldn't do it. So they buy the QDOS interpreter from Seattle and changed his name to MS_DOS. What is QDOS? QDOS is a OS desinged from Tim Petterson. The acronyms of it mean "Quick and Dirty Operating System" and the spanish traduction of that is: Sistema Operativo Rápido y Sucio. Just hearing that name, and knowing that this OS was designed by one person with less than two months copying from another operating system CP/M. What we can expect from that? We can imagine that this operating system was a crap. Well, now I have to say that QDOS is the base of the current Windows operating systems. That can be incredible but is the pure and poor truth. After this, in 1984, Microsoft had sold a lot of computers with QDOS as interpreter.

SELF EVALUATION:

Well now I will evaluate my oral presentation. This term we had to chose a topic related with computers. Me and Pep had done it about Microsoft and his monopoly. For doing the presentation we used a powerpoint and some attractive images. While I was doing my presentation I looked at my audience and I did gestures to indicate different images. I think that our presentation was organized and arranged with the discourse markers and it had an interesting and current topic. We exposed a information which affect all the people in the class and now they know something about Microsoft and his history. I hadn't a lot of interruptions and my vocabulary was varied. For all these reasons I think that the note of my presentation should be 7.
