Together their mission was to advance and improve software technology, make it easier, affordable and most importantly enjoyable for years to come. As time passed they created computer programming in different languages such as Basic and Fortran-80. During that time, Microsoft also worked with Apple to create a software for their computers. In 1980 they were able to produce GUI (graphical user interface) for Apple. In 1986 Microsoft introduced their own GUI product and called it Microsoft Windows (Gale Virtual Reference Library). Microsoft Windows is one of the most used operating systems in history. Infuriated with their invention, Apple sued Microsoft. Unfortunately four years later the law suit was
