In 1975 , Bill Gates and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen developed a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800.

The interpreter converted BASIC commands into machine code that the 8800 could understand.

After around two months , they had finished programming and presented the interpreter to MITS, who licensed it.
