Microsoft went public on March 13, 1986, at an opening price of about $21 per share.
In 1987, at age 31, Bill was the youngest person to become a billionaire. That year, Microsoft surpassed Lotus as the world’s largest PC software company.
In 1987, Microsoft employed about 1,800 people. Among their 1987 releases were OS/2 (text version), Windows 2.0, the Personal System/2 (or PS/2), and others.
