Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen co-founded the company on April 4, 1975 , in Albuquerque , New Mexico .

In 1978 , the original team, which was about to relocate to Washington state, took a group portrait that has become an iconic representation of the company's early days .

The photo stands out in large part because it's the only photo of the original 11 employees from that time frame.

Programmer Bob Greenberg is intertwined with the legacy of " The Albuquerque Photo " He won a radio contest for a free professional portrait photo that led to the 11 -person photo in question being taken in the first place.

Marc McDonald holds the distinction of being the first official employee of Microsoft , having been hired by Bill Gates for $ 8.50 per hour.
