Biography
He studied at Lakeside's elite private school in Seattle, where he saw a
computer for first time and he interested in computing. Here he met Paul Allen,
who was two years his partner. They became fast friends because they share
the enthusiasm for computers and spent much of their free time together
working on programs.
In 1975, when he was studying in Harvard University, he created his business,
Microsoft, with Paul Allen. One year later, he left his studies to focus on the
project.
In 1980, he met with IBM representatives (International Business Machines), to
sell his MS-DOS operating system, but he didn’t have it, so he bought it very
cheap from a young programmer.
Later, when Steve Jobs (Apple founder) was developing Macintosh, Bill visited
Apple to establish an alliance with him. Microsoft obtained the technology that it
needed and it launched Microsoft Windows, direct competitor of Macintosh.
In a very short time, the company grew a lot and it became the dominant of
software manufacture. Currently, Microsoft Windows is the most used operating
system in personal computers around the world and it has different versions, for
example Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10, etc.
Bill Gates isn´t only a good programmer, he is a very smart dealer too.
