The early days of MS were on PDP-10s. The Living Computer Museum
has the first KS-10 that MS used.  Paul Allen really liked the PDP-10,
and that was the first computer Paul and Bill did much of the work on.

I suspect that as DEC went to VAX, MS would have done that, too,
but I don't know that one at all. 

I suspect that if they had a choice, it would have been PDP-10 forever.
