Not more, but also did tremendous work (some of them come to mind in no particula order):

- ATT (Bell Labs): among other contributions. Unix and C (Thompson and Ritchie)
- HP
- IBM
- Intel
- Xerox PARC
- Apple
- Tandy-Radio Shack
- Osborne
- Microsoft
- Dan Bricklin (Visicalc)
- MicroPro (WordStar)
- Lotus Corp (Lotus 1-2-3)
- Borland
- and yes, I would include Ashton-Tate and Fox Software.
