Malco

Malco is MinderiaYouTuber's iteration of Microsoft, taking place from 1 AD to 1871, when computing didn't exist yet. This is the successor to Oggosoft.
== History ==
In the year 1 AD, a coastal tribe in Washington began thinking about the potential of technology. That year, five friends in that coastal tribe (Condelecus Prostarious, Stanvilington Andilt, Timonatie Ballura, Fisella Dronkunis, Gilberta Fedre, and Wiflod Leninnington) created the company Old-Yen-Malco, later renamed in short as Malco. By 8 AD, the company was getting its hands on ordenadors (the precursor to the computer). This would evolve from a demo to an actual stone computer in 78 AD.
The computer Malco Super/1 was released that year and was bundled with a system called SYNM DOS. The Malco Super/2 came out in 120 AD and was almost better in every way. The computers at the time were decent enough for their time, and by 168 AD, the company had spread to areas that would become Oregon and California.
=== Growth ===
The company had very exponential growth throughout the 170s. They were going to expand to other countries, but mostly didn't do much besides have them in the planning stages. Regardless, they were doing numbers in their reign in the United States, even during the Colonial Era.
Their fame began expanding more in the 1770s. It was now fully grown to be a big old tree that had power to rein in what would've seemed like a never-ending game of keepy-uppy.
=== Financing ===
Their financing was done in a sort of interval style; in the simplest explanation, they utilized a combination of both short-term and long-term funding methods. This allowed them to manage their cash flow effectively and make strategic investments while also ensuring stability in the long run. This only applied for 935 years.
When the year 936 A.D. came, their financing was done in a sort of block style; in the simplest explanation, they shifted to solely relying on long-term funding methods. This change in approach allowed them to focus on long-term growth and expansion, as they no longer needed to worry about short-term cash flow management.
=== Management ===
The company had no senior executives or major investors with any management experience in the industry, including its various CEOs. By the 190s–450s, the company had $4 million in income a year. And by the 500s to 940s, the company had $375,000 in income a year. This dropped to only a few hundred dollars of income a year due to poor management skills.
=== Bankruptcy ===
Malco had many financial low points in its history. In July 58 AD, the company faced a Canadian takeover attack, but they recovered by 61 AD. In 81 AD, the company had low pockets and was close to going bankrupt, but they recovered with boosted sales of the Malco Super/1 in 84 AD.
In 189 AD, the company faced another targeted attack from Mexico, but they recovered from this by the following year (190 AD). In 468 AD, the company faced issues with reduced salaries for vice presidents and directors, having salary increases freeze for a year, and having 30 out of the 61 employees laid off. These issues would be resolved by 469 AD. In June 950 AD, the company had some employees move from the USA to the Bahamas so they could form a new company. These plans would be quickly closed off by July 950 AD, and the employees would be moved back to the USA.
Following the release of Vindaugus 1000, Malco had a bumpy economy. In 1351, the company received complaints from consumers about the Malcondria Class' poorer performance on running Vindaugus You, and they addressed these issues by saying that the system wasn't ready to launch when the Malcondria Class released it and refunded people with machines running Vindaugus You in favor of machines that ran Wale DOS. Revised versions of the Malcondria Class with Vindaugus You would then be fully launched by 1353.
In 1415, the company announced their 1430s plan, which had consumers primarily taking 58% of Malco's concern. People were enraged and demanded that Malco stop the plan soon, which the company did in 1421. In 1511, the company faced a takeover from Cuba, but they stopped Cuba from taking over the company in 1513. In 1546, the company was facing stagnant economic issues. These issues wouldn't be resolved until 1559, with boosted sales of the Malcondria Class Color.
In 1593, the company faced declining interest from numerous manufacturing outlets. These issues, which were present at that moment, would not be resolved until 1602. In 1619, the company boycotted their plans to release the successor to the Malcondria BC 800, sparking anti-Malco hysteria. These issues were resolved in 1624. In the 1700s, the company faced near acquisition from a Russian company called Aитнов и одерс о. (or roughly translated Aitnov and Oders about), but these were avoided by April 1723. By the beginning of 1800, the company had a few thousand dollars remaining in their pockets and had 790 employees.
By the halfway mark of the 19th Century, the company was just on its last legs, and on September 5, 1871, the company officially called in for bankruptcy, ending Malco's 1870-year existence. However it never really died most remaining Malco employees went on to found MS-OS that had very malco-like OS, which is itself succeeded by Microsoft.
== Reasons for failure ==
Prior to the comeback of Malco, commentators point to several reasons for Malco's failures and downfall, including:
* Poor money management practices.
* Having a concept way ahead of its time.
* Completely ignoring what their consumers needed most.
Most people named Malco as one of the largest points for technological inspiration, failure, and everything in-between.
== Legacy ==
In 1871, two new companies that embraced Malco's traditions with far better execution (OS-Ready (from 1972–2023 as PowerOS, and 2023-present as The Horizon Company (THC)) and MC-OS (which closed up in 1904, reopened in 1905 as MicroOS before being closed in 1940, reopened yet another time in 1972 as Traf-O-Data, and since 1975 has been named Microsoft)) were founded.
The PowerOS company used to exist, but now the former campus are closed and demolished, and the company used to end up with a shutting down on August 21, 2023, but on September 9, 2023, over 2 weeks after the shutdown, PowerOS was making a comeback as The Horizon Company (THC). As for Microsoft, the company is still going strong, making operating systems, business products, and more.
