William Henry Gates,
Born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle. His father was a famous lawyer. His mother was a teacher who was active in many charitable activities, including the United Way, inter-agency cooperation-American social organization. Since childhood, he received a good education. His parents bought various light reading, such as free of knowledge, which he read out in a short time. He studied at one of the most prestigious school, Lakeside School. In 1967, the school had purchased a sophisticated machine. With the help of a typewriter, a magic machine that can be programmed to respond to certain commands. This is a historic moment. Bill introduced to computers, for the first time.
Bill is only 13 years old, and his friends, including Paul Allen, immediately interested. What is that? Machine-tweaking their brains and even made toys. Often times they fought. The longer their knowledge of computers grew. He actually could make a game of monopoly with the machine. Often he tried to break into the computer to test its stability. Day, day and night, who thought the child was just a computer. If you do not play the computer, he read books and computer magazines. He eventually became great because of one thing, the computer is fun for him.
So wonderful, little he was asked to help large companies. Computer Center Corporation to ask Bill and his friends to make the computer more stable and secure. In 1971, Informants mation Service Inc.. ask for help to design a corporate payroll system. Bill just 16 years old. At that time, he already had a lot of money he spent to watch, eating burgers, playing pinball, and bought a new red Mustang.
“In this business, by the time you Realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone “
In high school, Bill and Paul Allen founded Traf-O-Data that could be orders of government to design programs that can predict the traffic density. But the company did not last long.
Then, one of the important events happening in their lives. Beginning in 1975, Paul Allen of Popular Electronics magazine and saw a prototype personal computer the Altair 8800. Previously, no personal computers, which is just large mainframe computers to companies and government agencies. Bill and Allen believe this is a thing of the future. And, there’s no computer program language. This is their chance. Finally, BASIC programming language was created.
Mid-1975, Microsoft stand. He began hiring new employees, consisting of young children are geniuses, ambitious, creative, and often quirky. Microsoft Office full of young kids shoes sneakers, clothes disheveled, and no one wearing a tie. However, they all are people who are intelligent and creative. In 1977, Bill Gates decided to drop out of one of America’s largest educational institution, Harvard University. He wanted to focus on the business.
However, he continued to learn. While the preferred age teens dating, he devoured all the books and magazines about computers, as well as business and corporate law. When Bill was 24 years, Microsoft has had an income per year $ 7 million. Then came a big offer. A well-known companies are looking for partners to design the operating system to new computers. The company is one of America’s biggest companies, giants worth U.S. $ 30 billion, IBM.
Year 1980, Bill Gates, a young child he was only 25 years old, casually conferred with the leaders of one of America’s largest corporations, old people with a conservative black suit and an expensive silk tie. IBM is a giant worth tens of billions of dollars, Microsoft is still a beginner company. And he confidently offer an operating system that he said would be very valuable for the new IBM computers. A system called DOS.
But there is one problem “minor”. Microsoft does not have any. Far from a finished product, developed it yet. And development could take months, even years. But he told IBM that they already have it. Bill desperate to move on because they do not want this great opportunity slip by. If IBM to find out, their names can be broken anywhere. But Bill, he had to move on ..

No that’s all. He even asked for other conditions such as ownership remains in the hands of Microsoft’s licensing system and Microsoft can sell it to other computer manufacturers. IBM entengnya accepting it. They are absolutely sure that there are big profits in the computer, not the operating system. They were wrong, and Bill’s 25-year-old has proved a sharper vision of IBM. (The brand-new computer brand competitors quickly emerging IBM, and Microsoft’s monopoly on the program). But still there are problems that one.
Microsoft really lucky. With a large enough information (perhaps see from the magazine), they find what they need. There is a small company, Seattle Computer who had already developed a program called Q-DOS. Paul then managed to buy it with just U.S. $ 50,000 be accepted gladly by the owner. He did not know that his creation will be sold again with a value much greater in America’s largest computer company. (This problem will be solved by additional compensation of U.S. $ 1 million). The Microsoft program was renamed MS-DOS. Bill Gates will soon be the richest man in the world.
Then, a computer company called Apple came up with a horrendous new program. Computer program used to face a very ancient appearance and simple. On screen display only black with blinking cursor waiting for orders to be typed. Apple’s new display program comes with small pictures icon, with attractive colors, and using new technology called “Mouse”.
Typed commands do not need, just click its icon image. Initially, this program was developed at Xerox’s corporate laboratory, but then managed to emulate Apple. Microsoft then copy it from Apple and fix it. At 1985, there was Windows. No need to create, copy it and mobilize the best team and improve the finish. That seems to be one of Microsoft’s strategy. Now, for many people, Bill Gates was considered a god. In 1987, Bill Gates, who was 31 had become a millionaire, not a millionaire anymore.
In 1995, he issued a product of Remember Me, ‘Windows 95′. Made its debut with a massive campaign, including inviting the world’s legendary band, the Rolling Stones, and the number one American comedian, Jay Leno. Hundreds of people had lined up since the middle of the night to get the output of the first Windows 95. He then entered into a new business other heavyweights, the Internet. Internet Explorer began to be used widely since 1997. IE was derived from products licensed Spyglass belongs to Microsoft.
Then, in the early 21st century, video games and game tools become big business. At almost every house there is a video game. Many people expect the video game business will exceed the value of the Hollywood film industry. Bill did not want to miss. He then launched its flagship video game, X-Box, in November 2001. Currently, a very popular game around the world called Halo: Combat Evolved, the game kind of outer space battle in an alien environment is very realistic, detailed, and imaginative. X-Box has a sales level that includes the largest in the world, competing with Sony’s Playstation 2.
Mr. Bill teachers teach in school anymore.
He now is the richest person in the world with a wealth of 50 billion dollars. The business also continues to grow. In business, Bill Gates is known as a highly competitive and unforgiving. However, another story for social affairs. He is very, very generous. Like many other American big business, such as Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Henry Ford, Bill pulled out billions of dollars to lots of social activities. He and his wife, Melinda Gates, have Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a foundation that has a very large fund, which is 28 billion dollars. The foundation is engaged in education, such as scholarships and development of school computers, as well as medical assistance, such as for cancer research, AIDS, and vaccination of diseases. The total donated per year he reached around 1 billion dollars.
Not everyone liked the style of business, but he was very rich, successful, and he was certainly one of the most generous people around the world.
