Answer:

UNIX

Step-by-step explanation:

As a newly formed company, Microsoft's first operating system product that was publicly released was a version of Unix called Xenix, released in 1980. Xenix was later used as the basis for Microsoft's first word processor, called Multi-Tool Word, a predecessor to Microsoft Word.
