The Man Who Could Have Become Bill Gates

The Legend Goes Like This: One fateful day in the summer of 1980, three buttoned-down IBMers called on a band of hippie programmers at Digital Research Inc. (DRI) located in Pacific Grove, Calif. They hoped to discuss licensing DRI's industry-leading operating system, Control Program for Microcomputers (CP/M). Instead, DRI founder Gary Kildall blew off International Business Machine (IBM) to gallivant around in his airplane and the frustrated IBMers turned to Gates for their operating system.

This anecdote has been told so often that techies need only be reminded of "the day Gary Kildall went flying" to recall the rest. Gates offered to provide IBM an operating system too, even though he didn't have one at the time. This required a hasty purchase. While he's revered for his technical innovations, many believe Kildall made one of the biggest mistakes in the history of commerce. The saga of the computing industry is rich with outsize characters and surprising plot turns, but there's one story that has risen over time to mythic proportions. It's the tale of how software pioneer Gary Kildall missed out on the opportunity to supply IBM with the operating system for its first PC-essentially handing the chance of a lifetime and control of tech's future, to rival Bill Gates and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). In the process, he may have missed out on becoming the world's richest man. The Book: They Made America by Harold Evans, is certain to elicit cries of protest.

That's because it attacks the reputations of some of the key players of the early PC era-Gates, IBM and Tim Paterson (born 1956). "The Father of DOS", an American computer programmer, the Seattle programmer who wrote an operating system, QDOS, based partly on CP/M that became Microsoft's DOS. Paterson squirms, for instance, at the implication that he's fixated on his authorship of DOS. He holds a profile in Forbes, contrived as a first-person account. "I was 24 when I wrote DOS," it begins. "It's an accomplishment that probably can't be repeated by anyone ever." Evans asserts that Paterson copied parts of CP/M and that IBM tricked Kildall, because Gates rather than the more innovative Kildall prevailed, according to the book, the world's PC users endured more than a decade of crashes with incalculable economic cost in lost data and lost opportunities.

David G. Lefer, one of Evans' two collaborators, says: "We're trying to set the record straight. Gates didn't invent the PC operating system and any history that says he did is wrong." There's no doubt that Gary Kildall an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur was one of the pioneers of the industry. He invented the first operating system for microcomputers in the early 1970s, making it possible for hobbyists and companies to build the first personal computers. Legalities aside, Microsoft's original DOS was based in part on Kildall's CP/M. His insight was, that by creating an operating system separate from the hardware, applications could run on computers that were made by different manufacturers. On July 8, 1994, Gary Kildall (May 19,1942-July 1994) fell at a Monterey, CA. biker bar during a biker brawl and hit his head. The exact circumstances of his death and injury remain unclear; Kildall's colleagues recall him as creative, easygoing and adventurous.

Kildall preferred to leave the IBM affair in the past and to be known for his work before and afterward, he continually faced comparisons between himself and Bill Gates as well as fading memories of his contributions. In addition to flying, he loved sports cars, auto racing, boating and he had a lifelong love of the sea. Although his career in computing spanned more than two decades, he is mainly remembered in connection with IBM's unsuccessful attempt in 1980 to license CP/M for the IBM PC. Gates bought Tim Paterson's program, called QDOS, for approx. $75,000, renamed it DOS, improved it and licensed it to IBM for a low per-copy royalty fee. The rest is history. (Bill Gates Net Worth:$53 Billion: 2010).

Paterson passed in and out of Microsoft during the 80's, but returned for good in 1990. Paterson has patents and industry awards to his professional credit (including the Stewart Alsop Hindsight Award in 1991, recognized along with Bill Gates). He's now retired, but the prominent "First Place" trophies and clippings on the wall of his Building 2 office come from the world of off-road racing, in which he bangs a four-wheel drive Mazda around gravel back roads throughout the Northwest. "I'm still having lots of fun," he said.

Bill Gates, Microsoft and His Life

Everyone who's ever used a computer knows exactly who Bill Gates is. Credited with "invented the internet," Gates is the world's third richest man, with a net worth of $58-billion. Until a few years ago, Gates' fortune had a chokehold on the number-one position, but other fast movers manage to surpass the Microsoft founder.

Gates is also well known for dropping out of Harvard University and donating millions upon millions to a wide variety of charities around the world. He married wife Melinda Gates in 1994 and has four children. Gates has publicly stated that his children will only receive.01% of his fortune as an inheritance.

William Henry Gates III was born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Even as a small child, a young Bill showed flashes of extreme intelligence. His father was a successful attorney and Gates enjoyed a well-to-do upbringing, attending the exclusive Lakeside School in the area.

He may have been lucky financially, but he was truly gifted mentally. He attended Harvard University in 1973 and met future partner Paul Allen. They began working on their computer programming language, BASIC, that was to work as the basis for MIT's Altair. Gates left Harvard in his junior year and went on to form the Microsoft Corporation.

The Microsoft Corp. had very humble beginnings. Though both Gates and Allen were geniuses, they needed to revolutionize far beyond the reaches of human imagination. Since computers were already a big part of life, they needed to create something to connect the world. Gates always believed that every home in the world should own a computer.

Eventually, Gates developed ways to make computers work easier, faster, and his technologies gave them substantially longer lives. Once the Information Super Highway (World Wide Web) became realized, Gates' fame exploded and so did the computers - which left his bank account busting at the seams.

Bill Gates was often criticized for being greedy and too aggressive, and he and his lawyers spent much time in the courtroom fighting lawsuits. Apple Computer, Opera, Netscape, WordPerfect and Sun Microsystems were among the companies to file suit against Microsoft, claiming that they had an unfair monopoly on the industry.

These other companies ended up becoming rather wealthy, and it had no affect whatsoever and Microsoft's ability to earn. By the mid 90s, Bill Gates was the world's riches man, a title which he kept until 2008 when he stepped down as the CEO to Microsoft.

In 2005, Gates received an honorary knighthood directly from the Queen of England, and in 2007, he was given an honorary diploma from Harvard. Gates has also created one of the world's largest charitable foundations, which has given away more than $1-billion a year since 2000. Warren Buffett, the man whose riches surpassed Gates in 08, pledged that he would give a substantial portion of his net worth to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Bill Gates now acts as the lead software designer for Microsoft and plans to retire soon.

Bill Gates is Not a Man to Be Resented, He is to Be Applauded!

One of the most hated men in America, and in fact the world, is Bill Gates. Do you hate him too?

You shouldn't. Bill Gates is one of the most generous men in the world. His foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, donates over 1.5 billion dollars a year to charitable causes. Take a moment and think about that number, it's astounding!

Bill Gates has recently retired from Microsoft in order to devote more time to running the foundation and to devote his life to philanthropic work, but some people still think he's an asshole. Or, more accurately, unsuccessful people with negative attitudes think so.

Is Microsoft perfect? Hell no. But they are far less evil than a certain search engine with a candy coloured logo.

So all in all I respect Microsoft and respect Bill gates, and applaud his success and what he has done with it. I see him as a shining example of what one can create from nothing.

Here's the cold, hard, honest truth. You have to be a taker before you can be a giver, otherwise you have nothing to give. There is no virtue in remaining small so as not to appear greedy. Bill Gates knew this, and he built himself up into someone truly capable of making a difference in the world. If you are sitting around complaining about how much money he has, what difference are you making in people's lives?

Meanwhile Bill Gates is contributing to AIDS research, reducing world hunger, and all in all being an outstanding citzen of the world.

If you resent the success of others, you will only deprive yourself. If your belief is that successful, rich people are greedy and evil and selfish, and you feel that you are a good person, then how will you ever be able to become wealthy and still feel that you are a good person?

The next time you notice yourself have negative feelings towards someone who is more successful than you (and this can be anyone from Donald Trump to your next door neighbour), why not stop as ask yourself why?

The Rise and Rise of Bill Gates

As the co-founder and chairman of the mammoth Microsoft Corporation, Bill Gates is the moving force behind a company that has been regarded as "The Most Innovative Company Operating in the U.S." (1993, Forbes magazines). Microsoft introduced several revolutionary technological advancements in the computer industry that made the company the first truly dominant player among home computer operating systems. Microsoft also created the most widely used operating system in the world, Microsoft Windows.

Gates is widely regarded as the brains behind the Microsoft Corporation, primarily responsible for product strategy from the time the company was founded in 1975 until 2006. Among his key contributions are extensively broadening the company's product lines and vigorously defending Microsoft's dominant position in its key areas of operation. And while some of his decisions have led to antitrust litigation over Microsoft's business practices, his reputation as one of the most popular and respected entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution remains intact. His fame actually surpasses the realm of computers and business and extends into mainstream society. For instance, in a 2006 list compiled by New Statesman magazine, Gates was voted eighth in the "Heroes of Our Time" category.

In June 2006, Gates announced that he will be handing the reins of Microsoft's day-to-day operations to someone else by July 2008 to concentrate on the philanthropic work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, although he will continue to serve as the company's chairman and as an advisor on special projects. Plans are already afoot to transfer Gates' role as Chief Software Architect of Microsoft to Ray Ozzie, the former head honcho of the Groove company which Microsoft purchased in 2005.

Gates has donated several millions of dollars to various charitable groups and scientific research studies. By some estimates, Gates has contributed over half his fortune to charity. Even if such were the case, he can easily afford it. Recently, the prestigious Forbes magazine named Gates as the world's richest person for the 12th straight year, with a 2006 net worth of $50 billion. Incidentally, he actually became the world's first "centibillionaire" in 1999 when his net worth surpassed the 100 billion mark briefly.

Bill Gates, Virtual Reality, and Six Flags

Does bill Gates know something we do not know about Six Flags amusement parks? No probably not, but anyone as smart as he, certainly understands the future of Virtual Reality. Look at the new X-Box 360-degree system? Obviously Microsoft gets it and their research teams may have entered the Virtual Reality Realm a little late, but they certainly understand gaming. Mr. Gate’s increased his holding in the company from 8% to 10%. There can only be one reason in my opinion, Virtual Reality is coming to a theme park near you. This probably makes a bit of sense and also a rebounding economy tends to really bolster Theme Parks. In GA actually in Six Flags over Georgia, where actually they are still arguing over one particular flag some interesting things are happening;

http://atlanta.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/1998/06/01/story1.html

Lots of spending and upgrading, however I believe that Bill is smart enough to understand the next wave of technology in Theme Parks will be VR-Virtual Reality and boy has it come a long way these days, Science and computers are moving at an incredible pace, almost unheard of in this arena. Think I am wrong?

Even the Pentagon is into this shit with their newest Net-Centric War-fare designs where each unit works as a whole but instant information puts pieces together during ops. It does not take a genius after ready one of the latest Clancy books to figure out where all this is going does it?

[http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0708/web-trans-07-10-02.asp] .

You see even if Bill Gates does not have time to read all the books I do, by Arthur C Clarke, Ben Bova, Tom Clancy and Michael Creighton etc. he understands the technologies commercial value and as MIT scrambles to find buyers for all their newest codes, algorithms and ingenious inventions, so to is the US Government, and Microsoft Research looking at ways to enhance the coming technologies. From fiction to reality, Virtually and forever, here we go. And it should replace the drug problems in the US too. Where better than to test and use these newest machines and perfect them than a theme park or even in Las Vegas on the strip. I guarantee you this is going to be awesome. So before anyone claims that they know why Bill Gates is betting on the future shouldn’t you be wise enough to read some of his predictions for the future and watch some of the movies that his former partner and his newest associates are making and which screen plays are selling and who is writing those movie scripts books and audio tapes and video games? Don’t be naive. Your great Grandparents did not have cars and lived to see airplanes. Your grandparents saw airplanes turn into space ships. We watched TV turn into the Internet and we will see reality turn into what ever you want in the virtual world.

First it will cost a lot in theme parks, then someday you buy a hat and some programs from Wal-Mart for $250.00 hook it to your computer and relive that last NASCAR race, F-18 Smart guided bomb run or help the President negotiate with the Saudis over an oil deal. Think it won’t happen? You will be able to make love to your favorite actress, learn to fly, go visit the fossils in the Gobe Desert, Cross the icy Delaware with George Washington, discuss philosophy with Aristotle, sit on a rock during the Sermond on the Mound with Jesus or take a tour of the Space Station for less than the 20 million current fee all for a program costing $39.95 from Microsoft running on XP on sale at Wal-Mart for the next years National 9-11 holiday sale. Bet me!?.

Gate’s is no dummy and he may be ahead of the game by a few years, but remember he has the connections and the technology exists now to make the whole thing come to a complete Matrix Movie in the VR world. Face it folks the future is here. I hope you humans are smart enough to see that? Think about it, it will come to you.

Is Bill Gates Doing More Good When He Keeps His Money Or When He Gives it Away?

The question of whether Bill Gates is doing more good when he keeps his money or when he gives it away, is an interesting one. In which of these two scenarios does mankind benefit more? Before you dismiss this as a clearly ridiculous query, one not even worth considering, ponder this.

When you are worth tens of billions of dollars, where do you keep your stash? Do you hide it under your mattress? That would make for a very lumpy sleeping surface; as a billionaire, it's not very likely you would put up with such discomfort.

How about burying your fortune in the backyard? With all that loot, you're not going to be doing any digging. After all, you didn't get rich digging holes in the ground, but rather by using your noodle, and you're not about to start with the manual labor now. You could, however, get the gardner to plant the funds in the Azalea bed, but this might not be such a good idea, either. Not to cast aspersions on landscapers everywhere, but what's to keep her (don't want to be sexist here) from digging up the treasure when you are not around and heading for the South Sea Islands?

People with obscene (as some might think) amounts of money (the perspective many, who don't understand capitalism, cling to) don't hide it -- they invest it. They reinvest it into their businesses so it can grow bigger, stronger and give their customers better value for their money. They also invest it in other peoples' companies, resulting in these other entrepreneurs having money to expand their businesses; in the process, they take advantage of the miracle of compounding interest and as a result, make even more money.

What is the result of all this wealth in the hands of a single capitalist? In Bill Gates' case:

His company, Microsoft, and the extensions thereof, have spawned an estimated 12,000 millionaires and four Billionaires
As of 2009, there were 93,000 employees receiving a very good income and excellent benefits for themselves and their families
Many other companies which do business with Microsoft, et al, flourish and are able to employ untold numbers, and many start-up and existing businesses have access to the capital they need
All these well-employed folks and their families have money to spend in their local communities, plus nationally and worldwide
As a result, there is plenty of money available to be given to any number of worthwhile causes and charities -- if these people wish to do so
The Gates Foundation, as of 2009, has an endowment of 33.5 billion, from which it has given a minimum of 1.5 billion to worthwhile causes annually

Now let's look at the other side of the coin. What if, after making his first million or two, Bill Gates had decided that having a couple million dollars was as much as any one individual should have or needs to have and took his small fortune and closed up shop? What if he had decided to retire early and live off the interest on his first one or two-million-dollar earnings? Let's say that he decided to take $500,000 of his money to start a foundation to give grants to those in need. Giving away the interest on the half-million dollars each year, at an average of 10% interest, he could give away about $50,000 per year. In 20 years he would have given about a million dollars to worthwhile causes -- not bad. Of course, he wouldn't have created 12,000 millionaires who, if they gave just a miserly $1,000 each to charity, would be donating 12 million PER YEAR -- twelve times as much as Bill could give, under this early-retirement scenario, in 20 YEARS!

Of course, we all know that Bill Gates didn't take his first piddly little two million and run. He did what many successful entrepreneurs do each year; he risked it all by reinvesting the money he had made back into the business with the hope and belief that he could make even more money and better serve his customers with ever better products and services that would make their lives better.

As a result of his keeping the vast bulk of his money through the early years, Bill Gates now has a foundation that can, with matching funds, give away billions of dollars here in the U.S. and around the world -- improving the quality of life for countless people. And this doesn't even include all the money given to charities by all the billionaires and millionaires resulting from his business acumen. Keep in mind that each little billion is a thousand million or a thousand times as much as Bill Gates could have given to those in need in 20 YEARS, if he had gone philanthropic too soon or too full bore.

We see that when a wealthy person such as Bill Gates keeps his money for himself, he is not really keeping it for himself, because this money is kept in circulation, growing the economy, creating countless jobs in innumerable businesses across the country and the world. Even when a rich person spends his money on food for parties, for a yacht or clothes, it helps to keep the party stores, yacht stores and clothing stores profitable so they can continue to employ their staffs. The truth is that the more rich people there are and the wealthier they are, the more there is for everyone else in that economy -- unless the wealthy one "puts it under his mattress."

Does this truth hold for one's health and fitness as well as for financial matters? Here is my question for you: When it comes to your health and fitness, is it better to take care of yourself first or your loved ones? If we allow ourselves to become rundown and sick because we ignore our own well-being while helping our loved ones, how much help will we be to them then? Making our own well-being our top priority creates more energy, strength and vitality with which to care for those we love. When we have taken the time to make ourselves ultra-healthy and fit, we are also good role models and a positive example for all in our circle of influence -- including strangers we pass on the street.

Bill Gates kept the bulk of his money (invested it) for decades and we are all the beneficiaries of this choice. As a result of his taking care of business (taking care of himself and his "family" FIRST), he and those he helped to become rich can now help many, many more. We can learn from this model, whether we're talking about finances or health.

Bill Gates - The Ultimate Entrepreneur

Bill Gates today is one of the most recognised names on earth. His face is well-known around the world. He is known to be the world's ultimate entrepreneur. So what did he do to be the most recognised name on this planet?

Bill Gates name is synonymous with Microsoft. Microsoft marketed and sold the operating systems for every personal computer now installed into homes from the North Pole to the South Pole and everywhere between. This market domination makes Bill Gate and Microsoft the ultimate entrepreneur. Bill Gates branded his name along with the Microsoft Corporation Company. This personal name and company branding is an excellent example of what branding a product can do.

Bill Gates started branding his Microsoft Corporation at the beginning of starting the company. By placing his name and face as an essential part of the Corporation he founded, nurtured and developed made him the world's leading entrepreneur long before branding a product became the accepted business practice.

Bill Gates the Man

Bill Gates is a man of vision. He is someone who is able to visualise something that is non-existent and bring it into a reality. Very few people in human history have been able to not only see but to realise their vision of what could be.

To be able to 'see' something before anyone else is a gift of foresight that most of us don't possess. Bill had an idea of something that would benefit communication between people and found and developed the product to make it into a reality.

Seeing something that many people would or could find useful is one thing but making it into a reality for people everywhere is a rare gift. Many of us will have ideas of something that could be useful to people but very few of us then have the ability to make it actually happen.

Anyone who has good management skills, both of people and product development and then be able to sell their idea to others is a very rare combination in most humans. Many of us can do one or the other, but to find someone who can do all four skills is very unusual.

The Ultimate Entrepreneur

The essential skills needed for the Ultimate Entrepreneur are vision, people management, product development and the ability to first sell the idea and then sell the product.

Vision - To recognize something that has the potential to be useful to people as well as being a product people will want.

People management - requires employing the right staff with the right skillset for the positions required for product development and then treating them with empathy and understanding. The staff will need to be enthusiastic and capable. A good staff manager will need to be able to lead the employees by enthusiasm and encouragement to participate in product development and production.

Product Development - Involves being able to develop the product through the 'teething stage' and get it ready for mass production in a cost efficient manner.

Selling - The Initial Idea

A good entrepreneur will need to sell the product and or concept of the new product to their financial institution first and then to their staff. The concept of this two-way selling is a gift that Bill Gates has that few other men throughout history has had and this is what makes Bill Gates the ultimate entrepreneur.

Selling - Mass Marketing

Bill Gates has proven himself as the ultimate entrepreneur as he has mass marketed the operating system for a personal computer around the world.

In fact, the fact that I am even writing this article and you are reading it, is proof. He envisioned, manufactured and marketed the very thing that we are both using right now and that is the operating system in our Personal computers. Without his vision, we would never have been able to make contact.

Bill Gates is the ultimate entrepreneur on planet earth today. His ability to visualize and implement his vision into reality is what made him so successful and why all small business startups can learn from him.

I'm sure you have heard of Bill Gates before and he's one of the most famous and wealthiest people in the world. You're going to be surprised on what he had said to thousands of college kids in a college ceremony. Bill Gates said that they should drop out because they still had the time to make something happen with their lives. This is coming from someone who has been able to achieve success by dropping out of college so you know that he knows the truth.

Most of us are lead to believe that in order to be successful in life you have to go to college get good grades in order to get a good job.

As you continue to grow and develop you're going to be able to get educated on the different ways to be successful and all you are going to be doing is investing your time. What happened if Bill Gates decided not dedicate his time to building his business and instead decide to go to college. This is why you must understand that your time is very valuable so you must choose wisely where you want to invest it. Not many people are aware of how valuable their time is and they usually waste it away.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates - Two of the World's Biggest Success Stories

The interesting thing about Power and Money is that they both seem to come together. A perfect example is Bill Gates and his company. When Microsoft launched in the beginning it seemed like any other company. The changes that were made and implemented changed the face of computers forever. In the eyes of most nerds, excuse me writers, Bill Gates was viewed as a God. Then came along a guy named Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs is the same person as Bill Gates. They both put on their pants one leg at a time, like any other human being. The difference between us and them is they put together an idea that not only transformed the world, but their lives as well.

Bill Gates - Biography of the Richest Man on Earth

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Bill was an ambitious boy from childhood. He was very intelligent and fiercely competitive. Without a doubt, these qualities have played a role in where he is now. He was always good with mathematics and science. His father was an influential lawyer and his parents had planned a law career for him but as we all know, destiny had other plans.

He showed his interest when he was young. At school he wrote a program to play tic-tac-toe against a computer. He used the programming language called BASIC. Thus began his fascination with the world of computers. Gates was skilled in computers and even got banned from Computer Centre Corporation for exploiting bugs in the system and obtaining free computer time. His close friend and eventual business partner Paul Allen was banned along with him. After this ban, the four students offered to discover and eliminate bugs in return for computer time. As can be seen, Bill shared a true passion for his work and showed enterprise.

Seeing his proficiency, his school hired him to write a program to schedule students. He wrote the code such that he could be in the class with the most female students. At 17, Gates and his friend Paul Allen started a venture called Traf-O-Data. This program helped record and regulate traffic and it helped them earn around $20,000.

Graduating out of high school, he joined Harvard. Here he met Steve Ballmer, a future business partner. He was confused in college, just like a lot of other people. He chose pre-law, but he stuck with his love for computers. He would spend long hours in front of the computer all night and sleep in class next day. He stayed in constant touch with Paul Allen and they both got jobs in Honeywell. Finally he decided to drop out of college and start his own firm.

This firm was Microsoft, started with the vision "A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer". Bill Gates has since achieved remarkable success. He is the richest man on earth and his company has achieved goals and set benchmarks for other companies time and again. Bill Gates was an ordinary man who believed in the power of intelligence and hard work.

He pursued his dream and never gave up. His story shows us perseverance is the difference between success and failure, that any person can become great and achieve success with hard work and perseverance.

Bill Gates Biography - Part I

The greatly abridged Bill Gates Biography series. Here is the first installment of the Bill Gates Biography series. There has been enormous demand for more accurate Bill Gates biographies in the market that cover his rise to fortune. A great Bill Gates biography will show you the keys to greatness in any calling.

Bill Gates was born and raised in the greater Seattle area in a middle-upper class family. His father was a highly respected attorney and taught Bill Gates a tremendous amount about business and negotiating. Bill Gates understood from a very early age the importance of legal maneuvering to gain advantage in business. He was exceptional in math during his early years of schooling, and translated that skill into computer programming where he was given a more tangible medium to express this skill creatively. Bill Gates was also a very well rounded student, embracing a liberal arts education that would provide him with a strong grasp of how the world worked. In his education, however, he literally became obsessed with computer programming and this fatefully led him to meet his future Microsoft mate, Paul Allen. The two became the best of friends in their youth, sharing in many computer programming projects, many of which earned them money.

Gates went on to attend Harvard for his college career. In this time at college he knew that he wanted to start a business within the computer industry, but he didn't know where exactly he wanted to enter. It virtually wasn't a real possibility for smaller companies to become competitors because there weren't personal computers available for the public; it was more reserved for large corporations operating mainframe computers. The advent of this PC gave Gates the impetus to find an outlet for his business. So Gates and Allen decided to make their move within the software niche of the computer industry, writing programs that would run the computers. They knew it was their specialty and that it was the smartest market to enter.

They received their first deal with a computer company in Albuquerque, NM, and Gates decided to take a leave of absence from school in his sophomore year to pursue this dream. They negotiated a deal that was not particularly in their best interest, but they knew it was their only road to success. The one caveat of their agreement was found in a clause that allowed them an out if the computer company wasn't pulling their weight in marketing Microsoft's first computer program, BASIC. The turn of events that would unfold would forever change the landscape of the computer industry and lead Microsoft into becoming the industry standard in computer software. Part II of the Bill Gates Biography series will be coming soon.
