Who invented the first Micorsoft operating system?

AnswerActually it was Gary Kildall who invented the first operating system... Patterson bought it for 5 bucks at a hackers computer store. All Patterson did was switch the A drive and the C drive and called it his own. IBM went to Kildall first but he wasn't home and his wife wouldn't sign the non-disclosure paper.

Kildall was killed in a bar fight in 1994 after becoming an alcoholic because he watched his life's work being taken from him. Tim Patterson and Microsoft didn't actually do anything.
