SEATTLE — Paul G.
Allen, who co-founded Micro-
soft with his childhood friend
Bill Gates before becoming a
billionaire philanthropist, tech-
nology investor and owner of
several professional sports
teams, has died. He was 65.
He died Monday in Seat-
tle, according to his com-
pany Vulcan Inc. Earlier this
month Allen announced that
the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
that he was treated for in 2009
had returned and he planned to
fight it aggressively.
Gates said he was heartbro-
ken about the loss of one of his
“oldest and dearest friends.”

would not have existed with-
out him,” Gates said in a state-
ment, adding that Allen’s “sec-
ond act” as a philanthropist
was “focused on improving
people’s lives and strengthen-
ing communities in Seattle and
around the world.”
Allen and Gates met while
attending a private school in
north Seattle. The two friends
would later drop out of college
to pursue the future they envi-
sioned: A world with a com-
puter in every home.
Microsoft’s big break came
in 1980, when IBM Corp.
decided to move into personal
computers and asked Microsoft
to provide the operating system.

University of Washington that
bears his name.
Allen was also an avid
sports fan and used some of
his fortune to buy several pro-
fessional teams.
In 1988, at 35, he bought
the Portland Trail Blazers and
told The Associated Press that
“for a true fan of the game,
this is a dream come true.”
He also was a part owner
of the Seattle Sounders FC, a
major league soccer team, and
bought the Seattle Seahawks.
When he released his
2011 memoir, “Idea Man,” he
allowed 60 Minutes inside his
home on Lake Washington,
across the water from Seat-
tle, revealing collections that
ranged from the guitar Jimi
Hendrix played at Woodstock
to vintage war planes and a
300-foot yacht with its own
submarine.

after its founding in 1975. 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.
His influence is firmly
imprinted on the cultural
landscape of Seattle and the

Gates and company didn’t
invent the operating system. 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.
Allen, however, departed
the company just eight years
