- Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington.
- Bill Gates developed a passion for computers and programming as early as 13.
- Gates enrolled in the Lakeside School, while Gates was still at school, the school administration excused Gates as he was good at programming.
- This is also where he met Paul Allen and they worked together to find bugs in a system belonging to Computer Center Corporation.
- Bill Gates and Paul Allen continue to build software and at just the age of 15, Bill Gates sold a software to optimize traffic for $20,000. A few years later, he developed another software and earned $30,000 from it. And, this was the start of Bill Gates' journey to a billion-dollar wealth.
- In 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen co-founded a software company and they named it Micro-Soft. The company hit a financial crisis and this is mainly due to the use of some pirated software. However, the two owners did not lose hope and they launched MS-BASIC, which helped them to make a profit of $50,000.
- In 1979, IBM launched the world's first personal computer and offered Microsoft to develop a program for it. However, at the time, the company did not have the resources to create an opening software (OS), and recommended another company Digital Research to IBM for building their OS.
- A few months on, Microsoft bought an OS system called "86-DOS" and it resulted in the launch of "MS-DOS". In 1980, Microsoft and IBM signed the contract within a year Micro-Soft became Microsoft Corporation. Windows NT was the first Windows OS to be launched. This followed a series of Windows launches Windows 95-Windows Vista.
- For a few years now, Gates has not been involved in the day-to-day operations of Microsoft and he has dedicated most of his time towards philanthropy and community projects.
