微软

微软 (wēi ruǎn) is the Chinese name for Microsoft, a major American multinational technology company. It is commonly used in China to refer to the same company known as Microsoft in English-speaking countries.

The character 微 (wēi) means 'micro' or 'small,' and 软 (ruǎn) means 'soft' or 'software.' Together, they form a direct translation of the company's name, which originally meant 'micro software' in Chinese.

微软 is widely recognized in China and is often used in contexts related to technology, computing, and software development. It is also part of common phrases like 微软操作系统 (Microsoft operating system) or 微软办公软件 (Microsoft office software).
