Microsoft

Microsoft really doesn't need any introduction.  Based, in Redmond, Washington (USA); Microsoft's best known products are certainly their Windows line of operating systems (OSs) and their Microsoft 365 suite of productivity applications.  They also host the Edge web browser and provide Xbox video game consoles along with their Surface line of PCs.
