Information:Microsoft began its journey as Traf-O-Data in 1972. The company specializes in producing computer hardware to analyze traffic data and manage traffic lights in Washington. Traf-O-Data worked with the government and carried out tasks under state contracts. These operations later became the foundation for a new entity known as Microsoft. The transition occurred on April 4, 1975, but the Traf-O-Data logo remains an important legacy, reflecting the company’s origins.
