When Microsoft was founded 50 years ago this month, it wasn’t clear the company would last 50 weeks, much less 50 years. Since then, it’s grown from a three-person company with barely any revenue to one worth approximately $1 trillion, depending on the day’s stock price, with 228,000 employees in 190 countries.

These seven game-changers paved the way for the company’s success. (In my next column, I’ll look at Microsoft biggest bombs over the years.)

Gates declares war on share-and-share alike

In the earliest days of the PC revolution during the early-to-mid 1970s, 1960s-style idealism reigned. Many of the earliest techies believed technology could usher in a more equitable world, and as a model for that, they shared knowledge and work with each other freely. Nowhere was this more true than in the influential Homebrew Computer Club, in which people traded tips and advice on how to use the earliest PC, the Altair 8800 (which had to be assembled by hand).

Microsoft’s first product was a version of the BASIC programming language for the machine. Much to Gates’ chagrin, though, people weren’t paying for it. Instead, they shared copies of it with each other for free.

So in February 1976 he wrote an open letter to the Homebrew Computer Club titled “An Open Letter to Hobbyists.” It was a declaration of war on those he saw as thieves, and laid the operating principles that would later grow his company (then called Micro-Soft) into a behemoth.  Gates wrote, in part:

“The amount of royalties we have received from sales to hobbyists makes the time spent on Altair BASIC worth less than $2 an hour.

“As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software…. Who cares if the people who work on it get paid?

“Who can afford to do professional work for nothing? What hobbyist can put 3 man- years into programming, finding all bugs, documenting his product and distribute for free?…Most directly, the thing you do is theft.”

So much for the share-and-share-alike ethos of the 1960s. The letter worked. After it, Microsoft had a solid cash flow.

Microsoft hits big with MS-DOS

For its first few years, Microsoft continued to write and sell programming languages for personal computers. It was a profitable niche. But that’s all it was…a niche, and a small one at that. Gates had bigger things in mind.

The company’s first big breakthrough came in 1981 when he convinced IBM to pay Microsoft $430,000 to develop an operating system and provide other services for its still-secret, yet-to-be released new PC. IBM thought it was getting a great deal — it had expected to pay even more. But Gates outsmarted Big Blue. He negotiated terms that allowed Microsoft to sell the same operating system to other personal computer makers. (Microsoft called IBM’s operating system DOS and its own compatible operating system MS-DOS.) 

So-called “clones” of the IBM PC flooded the market, and Microsoft got a royalty for every one of them sold because they all needed an operating system compatible with IBM’s PC. The company soon was rolling in money.

Microsoft didn’t have to spend much time or money developing DOS and MS-DOS. It paid $50,000 to a company for an existing operating system called QDOS (short for “quick-and-dirty operating system”) and tweaked it to run on IBM’s PC and clones.

Windows 3.0 and 3.1 rule the world

To run MS-DOS and DOS you had to use a command line, which was no one’s idea of a good time and not particularly easy to do. While IBM PCs and clones were stuck in the old world, Apple was creating a new one with its graphically based operating system for the Lisa computer in 1983, and then the groundbreaking Macintosh operating system in 1984. It became clear graphical OSes were the future, and Microsoft eventually released its first version of one, Windows, in 1985. But it didn’t run as an operating system; instead, it ran as an application inside DOS. The same was true for Windows 2.0. 

Neither version of Windows went anywhere fast.

Then, in 1990 Microsoft released Windows 3.0 and two years later, the improved version called Windows 3.1. The operating systems were far easier to use than MS-DOS. But they were also inelegant and awkward, kludgy, crashed far too often and at times were head-scratchingly confusing to use. But they were good enough to replace MS-DOS as the standard for PCs, and they cemented Microsoft’s worldwide monopoly over operating systems. 

They might not have been pretty, easy-to-use or reliable, but they accomplished their primary purpose: printing cash by the billions for Microsoft.

Microsoft aims for its next target, businesses

By the late 1980s, it was clear the PC revolution that had begun in the 1970s for hobbyists had gone big-time in the business world. Microsoft went after the market with a vengeance, launching Office in 1990. It included not just a software suite (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), but server software as well. Gates swept away the competition with shark-like tactics, some of which were found to violate antitrust laws.  

Microsoft followed suit with countless other business services and software, including SQL Server, Power BI, Dynamics 365, Power Platform and many more. Microsoft soon owned the enterprise market.

Satya Nadella replaces Steve Ballmer as CEO

In 2000, Steve Ballmer replaced Gates as CEO. Under his hard-charging, sometimes clownish leadership that focused obsessively on Windows to the detriment of other products and technologies, Microsoft slowly drifted into irrelevance. It missed out on the mobile revolution and became an also-ran in the internet and social media. Ballmer tried to solve most problems with the bluster and business tactics that did well in the 1970s through 2000, but failed miserably in the 21st century.

Microsoft

He lasted until 2014, when Satya Nadella took over. Many people’s first reaction to the choice was “Who?” Nadella didn’t brag and shout like Ballmer or swagger and resort to illegal tactics like Gates. Instead, with a calm demeanor, he dragged the company into the new century, killing flailing multi-billion-dollar projects like Windows Mobile, turning the company into a smooth operation rather than a series of warring fiefdoms, and pouring billions into new technologies that would eventually make Microsoft a tech leader again.

Nadella turns to the cloud 

Microsoft launched Azure, its cloud platform, under Ballmer in 2010. But it took Nadella to see its importance. He refocused the company away from Windows and towards the cloud. By 2024, its Intelligent Cloud division tallied $100 billion in sales. But that vastly understates how much cloud-related revenue the company brings in, because software and services like Office (now called Microsoft 365) have become cloud services as well.

Microsoft bets big on AI

Six years ago, Microsoft made what was at the time something of an under-the-radar investment: $1 billion into the startup OpenAI. Few people took notice. Three years later, in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm — thanks in part to $12 billion more in Microsoft investments. A year after that, Microsoft released its own version of ChatGPT, called Copilot, for enterprises. 

Now, Copilot is integrated into virtually every part of the company, and Microsoft is building its own AI team and products separate from OpenAI. It’s become the world leader in AI, with no end in sight — a solid starting point for the company’s next 50 years.

I’ve got a better way to scroll on Windows — especially on large monitors. This instantly boosted my productivity and fixed a major annoyance I had with Windows 11. And you can try it yourself in just a few seconds.

This isn’t just a typical tech article about Windows. This is one that offers a better way to use Windows. It’s not an existing tool that you will find elsewhere, in other words — it’s a new way to use the Windows desktop you can install right now, written just for this column.

I’ll be honest: I made this script for me, first and foremost. I’ll be using this script for years to come. But I think it’s amazing, and I hope you’ll get use out of it, too.

Why scrolling on Windows 11 is so annoying

Here’s the issue: Windows 11’s scrolling system is pretty bad. Microsoft shrunk the scroll bars from past Windows versions. The larger your monitor, the more annoying those tiny scroll bars are. If you move your mouse cursor to the right edge of the screen, you’re grabbing the window border — not the tiny scroll bar. You have to carefully position your mouse cursor over those little scroll bars.

And sure, you could simply spin the wheel on your mouse instead, but that’s too slow for scrolling longer distances. You could middle-click and move the mouse, too, but that feels awkward. Or you could aim at those scroll bars and wonder why the targets are so small.

While thinking over how annoying this all is, I realized the way the scroll wheel should work. And so I built a script.

Meet ‘Grab to Scroll,’ a transformative AutoHotkey script

The result is an incredibly simple script for AutoHotkey, a free Windows automation framework. It’s called Grab to Scroll. You can download it here.

You’ll just need to install the core AutoHotkey 2.0 program first; you then double-click the script to run it. That’s all.

Here’s how it works:

• Position your mouse cursor anywhere over a window — Chrome, Slack, Excel, or any open program.
• Click and hold the middle mouse button. (That’s usually the mouse wheel itself.)
• Move the mouse up, down, left, or right — not the scroll wheel, but the mouse itself.
• The script translates your mouse movements into quick, precise scrolling.
• Release the middle mouse button when you’re done.

That’s a lot of words to describe something so simple that it immediately feels like how mice should work in Windows in the first place.

Because of how this works, the script takes over your middle-mouse button. That means middle-clicking won’t work in the usual way while it’s running. I’ve built in a bypass: When you hold down the Ctrl key and middle-click, the script will send a normal middle-click action. That way, you can hold Ctrl and middle-click to close browser tabs, for example.

Want to stop using it altogether? Just locate the green AutoHotkey icon in your system tray, right-click it, and select “Exit.”

Chris Hoffman, IDG

I’ve built in a few preferences you can fine tune, if you like — just in case the scrolling feels too fast or slow with your particular PC and mouse.

It’s pretty self-explanatory: You just need to change the numbers on a few lines and save the script file. It includes comments that explain how to tweak it. You can use Notepad, Notepad++, or your text editor of choice to change its settings. (Then, be sure to right-click the green AutoHotkey icon in your system tray and select “Reload Script.)

The joy of ‘vibe-coding’

I could have written this myself if I put serious time into it. But I didn’t. I used generative AI (genAI).

The reality is that I’m a writer, not a programmer. I wrote every single word in this article myself. But I didn’t write the script by hand.

Given some time, I probably could have taught myself how to put this script together. But I didn’t have to do that.

Instead, I “vibe-coded” this Grab to Scroll script. That’s a new term for describing a problem you have and a solution you want and having an genAI tool put together the code for you. It wasn’t a one-shot solution: The tool got it wrong at first, and there was some back and forth. 

The critical insight was knowing how I wanted scrolling on Windows to work. That was all me, not genAI. I came up with a vision — one so convenient that it seems obvious to me in retrospect. But with genAI handling the grunt work, I was able to quickly throw together a script that works so shockingly well I’m writing it up for Computerworld the same day.

The entire process — from “Windows 11’s scrolling sure is annoying on a big monitor, how can I fix this?” to a working script that transforms scrolling everywhere in Windows and implements a vision that came from my own brain — took less than an hour. And now I’m sharing it with you.

The cool thing isn’t just this script. It’s that you can also now tweak it to work in whatever way you want. You can take the script I created to a chatbot like ChatGPT, copy-paste it in, and ask for your own custom changes. You can follow this same sort of process to develop another script that makes Windows work the way you want it to, even if you’re not a programmer.

To me, “vibe-coding” is a bit of a stretch at the moment — especially if you don’t have prior programming experience. But “vibe-scripting” — throwing together lightweight problem-solving solutions like this? That’s well within reach.

At my previous home, How-To Geek, we used to share AutoHotkey scripts — simple little things that disabled the Caps Lock key, for example. Now you can build that type of thing — whatever you like — with plain English. No digging through documentation necessary!

In short, if you’re annoyed about something in Windows, you might be able to fix it yourself with a similar process.

AI’s brain-augmenting abilities

This is two articles in one, but they’re the same article. Grab to Scroll is an awesome script that I will be using for years to come. And it’s one I hope other people will love, too. I hope people copy it and this type of thing spreads far and wide.

But, again, I used genAI to make it all happen. That matters because it shows what’s possible when you think about genAI the right way. You can use these tools as an accelerator for your brain. You can test an idea in seconds when it normally would have taken hours of research to find out just how to write the script.

Sure, you can use AI to shut off your brain and avoid thinking entirely, for better or worse. But you can also use it to accelerate your brain — to be more creative, to get more done, to test and explore more things. Grab to Scroll is just one example of what’s now within your reach.

The way genAI tools are advertised is often boring — another email summarizer, another customer service chatbot that isn’t particularly helpful, and so on. But you can use the tools to do so much more.

To get started, revisit our previous discussion around the secret to using generative AI effectively. But also, I hope you enjoy Grab to Scroll. Scrolling now feels so much better on my big monitor! And of course it does: I custom-designed the ideal solution that works specifically for me.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You stumble onto something scintillating during your various digital dalliances — something you think might be a useful nugget of knowledge for work or maybe even a pertinent update for your personal life.

Maybe it’s in an article you encounter somewhere online — in your browser, in a news app of some sort, in your Google Discover feed. Maybe it’s something someone mentioned to you in Slack or in Google Messages. Maybe it’s something someone emailed you or posted onto LinkedIn. With all the places we all bounce between these days, who the hell can remember?

And there’s the rub: When that moment arises that your battered ol’ butter-brain comes back to the thing in question, you inevitably won’t remember where exactly you saw it — or what exactly it was called, for that matter. You’ll dance from app to app trying to retrace your steps and rediscover where and how you’d encountered whatever it was that’s on your tip of your amygdala but not quite coming through. And no matter where you look or what words you search for, somehow, the right thing never seems to resurface.

We’ve all been there — some of us more than others (insert awkwardly self-aware eye-darting here). So what if there were some sort of magic-seeming system that’d quietly observe all our online wanderings, take private notes about everything we’re seeing, and make it impossibly easy to retrace those steps and find anything we encountered along the way, no matter where it was or in what context we first saw it?

My friend and fellow mushy-brained mammal, have I got just the treat for you.

Your Android recall advantage

Oh ye Android-appreciating animal, allow me to introduce you to a crafty little creation called Snapseek.

Snapseek is a simple Android app that’s similar on the surface to Microsoft’s eternally under-development Windows Recall feature — only as an optional external add-on, the privacy worries surrounding it seems far less pronounced (and the app provides plenty of assurances about how it protects you, too).

In short, Snapseek runs quietly in the background of your favorite Android device and works to capture frequent behind-the-scenes screenshots of everything you’re doing, in whichever apps you select for it to follow. Each screenshot gets saved only locally, on your device and within the app itself, with on-the-fly optical character recognition to process all the visible words and make ’em easily searchable later.

The result is a virtual breadcrumb trail of all your online meanderings in whichever areas you authorize. You can browse through that history anytime — or, in the especially useful memory advantage, you can simply search for any word imaginable and see an instant list of every screen you interacted with where that specific term appeared.

Snapseek lets you search through all of your Android activity in any apps where it’s active.

JR Raphael, Foundry

Critically, Snapseek looks only at apps that you ask it to monitor — something you select when you first set up the app and can easily adjust later.

It’s up to you to decide exactly which apps Snapseek watches and makes available for future searching.

JR Raphael, Foundry

Out of the box, the free version of Snapseek lets you select up to two apps for ongoing following. And it’s perfectly functional for those two apps, with no other asterisks or limitations.

If you want to be able to create memory trails for more than two apps, you’ll have to make a one-time $4 upgrade to the app’s pro version. That’s it — just the one-time $4 charge, with no subscriptions or ongoing payments.

An optional $4 upgrade unlocks Snapseek’s two-app limitation.

JR Raphael, Foundry

To emphasize a key factor here: Snapseek stores all of its data only locally on your own device. It doesn’t collect any manner of private info or share any personal data in any way. There are no ads or trackers involved in the app. You can require biometric authentication to protect your history from prying eyes, and you can tell Snapseek to automatically delete all of the screenshots it saves every seven, 14, 30, or 90 days, if you don’t want your history to stick around forever.

It’s an interesting way to enhance your memory and give yourself a sleek, swift, ‘n’ simple new searching superpower — one that’s bound to be a lifesaver the next time you know you saw something significant but can’t for the life of you remember where or what it was.

Erm, right. What were we talking about, again?

Over the next few years, agentic AI is expected to bring not only rapid technological breakthroughs, but a societal transformation, redefining how we live, work and interact with the world. And this shift is happening quickly.

“By 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously,” according to research firm Gartner.

Unlike traditional AI, which typically follows preset rules or algorithms, agentic AI adapts to new situations, learns from experiences, and operates independently to pursue goals without human intervention. In short, agentic AI empowers systems to act autonomously, making decisions and executing tasks — even communicating directly with other AI agents — with little or no human involvement.

One key driver is the growing sophistication of large language models (LLMs), which provide the “brains” for these agents. Agentic AI will enable machines to interact with the physical world with unprecedented intelligence, allowing them to perform complex tasks in dynamic environments, which could be especially useful for industries facing labor shortages or hazardous conditions.

The rise of agentic AI also brings security and ethical concerns. Ensuring these autonomous systems operate safely, transparently and responsibly will require governance frameworks and testing. Preventing the law of unintended consequences will also require human vigilance.

Because job displacement is a potential outcome, strategies for retraining and upskilling workers will be needed as the technology necessitate a shift in how people approach work, emphasizing collaboration between humans and intelligent machines.
