Bill Gates, Microsoft Creator

William Henry Gates III or better known as Bill Gates, born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955. Bill's father, Bill Gates Jr.., Worked at a law firm as a lawyer and his mother, Mary, is a former teacher. Bill was the second of three brothers. Since childhood he had a hobby "hiking", even today these activities are still too often did when he was "thinking".

Small bill can easily pass the elementary school with a very satisfactory value, especially in science and mathematics lessons. Knowing this, parents Bill and menyekolahkannya at a renowned private school with good academic guidance, called Lakeside. At that time, Lakeside had just bought a computer, and within a week, Bill Gates, Paul Allen and several other students (the majority of programmers would become the first Microsoft) have spent all hours of computer classes for one year.

Bill Gates computer capabilities have been approved since he was still in school at Lakeside. Starting with his school computer hacking, changing schedules, and placement of students. In 1968, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and two other hackers hired by the Computer Center Corporation. to be a tester security system company. In return, they are given the freedom to use the company computer. According to the Bill when it is they really can "enter" computer. And this is where they begin to develop skills toward the establishment of Microsoft, 7 years later.

The next Bill Gates the ability honed. Making the payment system program for Information Science Inc., is the first business. Then with Paul Ellen founded their first company called Traf-O-Data. They make a small computer that can measure the flow of traffic. Working as a debugger at defense contractor TRW company, and as a responsible computerization of school schedule, complements Bill Gates experiences.

In fall 1973, Bill Gates went to Harvard University and is registered as a law school student. Bill could attend the lectures well, but just like when in high school, his attention soon turned to the computer. While at Harvard, his relationship with Allen remained close. Bill was known as a genius at Harvard. Even one of his teachers told him that Bill is a great programmer genius, but also a man who sucks.

December 1974, when about to visit Bill Gates, Paul Allen read Popular Electronics magazine article with the title "World's First Microcomputer Kit to Rival Commercial Models". This article contains the first microcomputer Altair 9090. Allen then discussed with Bill Gates. They realize that the era of "home computer" will be coming soon and explode, making the presence of software for the computer - the computer is required. And this is a great opportunity for them.

Then in a few days, contact the manufacturer Gates Altair, MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems). He said that he and Allen have made a BASIC that can be used on the Altair. Of course, this is a lie. Even they did not write one single line of code. MITS, who did not know this, very interested in BASIC. Within 8 weeks of BASIC have been prepared. Allen headed to present MITS BASIC. And although, this is the first time for Allen in operating the Altair, was BASIC can work perfectly. A year later, Bill Gates left Harvard and founded Microsoft.

Bill Gates Leaving Harvard For Chasing Dreams

When he was bored with Harvard, Gates applying for jobs related to computers in the Boston area. Gates, Paul Allen encouraged to try to apply as the program in Honey-well so that they can continue their dream to establish a software company.

On a December day in the freezing, Paul Allen saw the front cover of Popular Mechanics magazine, published in January 1975, the micro computer image of a revolutionary new assembly MITS Altair 8080 (small computer into a PC embryo at a later date). Then meet with Gates and Allen persuaded him that they must develop a language for that simple little machine. Allen kept saying, "Let us set up a company. Let's do". That's when they found their way of life.

The two friends rushed to a computer at Harvard to write an adaptation of the BASIC language programs. Gates and Allen believes that the small computer that can do wonders. From there they also have a dream, the availability of a computer on every desk and in every household.

The spirit of Allen and Gates are not in vain, and from there they founded the Microsoft company. Starting from a small computer that is the model of all kinds of computing. And now you can see that Microsoft has truly become part of the computing needs throughout the world. And almost everyone knows Bill Gates as the richest man in the world today.

"People who succeed are those who have a dream and the belief that the dream would be happening regardless of the price he must pay"
