Possibly has something to do with the fact that when Microsoft was formed (and beforehand with Gates and the 'other guy' whos name I don't know) dealt with the new computers, which were called Microcomputers. They started off as Micro-Soft, so I assume it's related to that in some way, but I don't think theres an official word on it.

Microcomputer + Software = Microsoft

They were writing software for microcomputers (PCs) and having come from the era of IBM where everything for computers was being done on monster mainframes (macrocomputers), the differentiation was pretty big at the time.

Small Software = Microsoft

Bill Gates developed that name after he had a dream about Micro chips and he had no girls in his life that he dated at the time so his wang stayed soft and then it hit him in a dream...Microsoft.


Borat2®
yes it does - it's a very soft micro (chip)


INACTIVE
All Microsoft (microcomputer software) did was buy the licensing for DOS and then proceeded to expand on DOS to create Windows. Now, Gates / Microsoft gets money simply for the Microsoft name whether or not they ever sell another product. That's the value of brand name at work!!!
