The father of Microsoft
There are many great personalities in this would some achieve because of these character and some achieve greatness because of their intelligence these is one such great personality “Bill Gates” when richest man of the world and because of his hard work and intelligence he can be called the father of Microsoft.
Bill Gates is the chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation and the worldwide leader in software, services and Internet technologies for personal and business computing. Microsoft had revenues of US $32.19 billion for the fiscal year ending June 2003 and employees more than 54,000 people in 85 countries.
On October 28th, 1955 shortly after 9:00 pm Bill Gates was born. His father was a prominent lawyer and his mother Mary Gates was a school teacher in the University of Washington Regent and chairwoman united way International. His grandfather was a Vice President of a national bank. Thus Bill Gates was born to a family with a rich history in Business politics and community service. Bill Gates started programming at the age of 13. As a school boy he and his friend Paul in 1968 hacked into a security system of a firm computer and were then asked to look for its weakness. It was here that Gates and Ales really began to develop the talents that would lead to the formation of Microsoft seven years later.
In December of 1974, Alen was on his way to visit Gates when along the way he stopped to browse the current magazines. What he saw changed Bill Gates lives forever. On the cover of Popular Electronics was a picture of the altar 8080 and the headline world’s first Micro computer kit to Rival models. He bought the issue and rushed over to Gates dorm room. They both recognized it as a big opportunity the two knew that home computer market was about to explode and that someone would need to make the software for the machines within a few days Gates has called MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry System) makers of the Altair he told the company that he and Allen had developed a BASIC that could be used on the Altair. This was a lie. They have not written a line of code. They had neither a Altar nor the chip that man the computer.
The MITS Company did not know this was very interesting in seeing their BASIC so Gates and Allen began working feverishly on the BASIC they had promised. The code for the program was left mostly upto Bill Gates while Paul Allen began working on a way to simulate the Altair with the school PDP-10. Eight weeks two felt that their program was ready Allen was to fly MITS and show of their creation. The day after Allen arrived at MITS it was time to test their BASIC. Entering the programming into the company Altair was the first time Allen had ever touched one. If Alter simulation he designed of Gates codes was faulty the demonstration would mostly likely have ended in failure this was not the case and the program worked perfectly the first time MITS arranged a deal with Gates and Allen to buy their rights to their BASIC. Within a year Bill Gates had dropped out of Hardware to form Microsoft with Paul Allen in 1975.
Bill Gates and Paul had a vision of computers as a useful tool for everyone their big break was a contract with IBM for an Operating System for IBM’s new personal computer. In the 1980’s and 1990’s Microsoft developed and made a huge success of its Windows GUI. But its business practices brought accusation monopoly tactics.
Under Gates leadership Microsoft mission has been to continually advance and improve software technology and to make it easier more cost –effective and more enjoyable for people to sue computers. The company is committed to a long term view reflected in its investment of more than $6.8 billion on research and development in the current fiscal year.
