He served as Microsoft’s execu- tive vice president of research and new product development until 1983, when he resigned after being diagnosed with cancer. Two weeks ago, Allen announced that a different cancer — non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which he was treated for in 2009 — had returned. Over the course of sev- eral decades, Allen gave more than $2 billion to a wide range of interests, including ocean health, homelessness and advancing scientific research. With his sister Jody Allen in 1986, Paul Allen founded Vulcan, the investment firm that oversees his business and philanthropic efforts.

To meet IBM’s needs, they spent $50,000 to buy one known as QDOS from another program- mer, Tim Paterson. Eventually the product refined by Mic- rosoft — and renamed DOS, for Disk Operating System — became the core of IBM PCs and their clones, catapulting Microsoft into its dominant position in the PC industry. The first versions of two classic Microsoft products, Microsoft Word and the Win- dows operating system, were released in 1983. By 1991, Microsoft’s operating systems were used by 93 percent of the world’s personal computers. The Windows operating system is now used on most of the world’s desktop com- puters, and Word is the corner- stone of the company’s preva- lent Office products.
