Introduction:
Founded in 1975 by Paul Allen and Bill Gates, Microsoft has become
one of the largest companies in the world for developing software,
PC games, operating systems, and hardware devices.
Microsoft first introduced its IntelliMouse Optical in the fall
of 1999 with the IntelliMouse Explore. Now Microsoft has released
its new IntelliEye Technology along with the new IntelliEye Wireless
Explorer. Microsoft's new Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer is not
