October 28, 1955, into a family of highly respected citizens of Seattle was born a boy named William. Later he appeared on two sisters, but the son of a prominent lawyer William Henry Gates had great hopes. Elementary and secondary education Bill received in a private school and the father believed that his first-born due to Harvard for law school.In school, Bill had a problem: many of the items he found unnecessary, and therefore not particularly kept in most disciplines – in addition to mathematics, which had only the highest scores. Shortly before the end of the elementary school behavior Bill Gates has become so odious that it even sent to a psychiatrist for examination. The result is a translation of the boy in Lèksajd – one of the most privileged in Seattle schools. Here already had computers, and Bill was able to develop programming skills.Despite its unique abilities in logic and mathematics, Bill is not sought for leadership among peers, subject of frustration for his parents. With his friend Paul Allen, Bill is so carried away by computers that začityvaâs′ computer books, often was missing classes. However, the Bill has received knowledge during this period during this period to create your first program is a simple Simulator that allowed to play against the computer.

In those days the computers installed limit computer time. But Bill and Paul very quickly understand programming, hacked and changed files protection computers responsible for computer time. For this prank young hackers have been removed from computers for a whole month. At the same time in the firm's Computer Center Corporation computers began to grow, and revealed the weakness of the defence. Programmers SSA remembered young komp′ûterŝikah and suggested that Bill Gates and Paul Allen to identify security weaknesses. In return, the boys received nelimitirovannuû work on computers. Naturally, students Lejksajda agreed plunge in the company.In 1969, the Computer Center Corporation began in financial difficulties, and the following year the company was declared bankrupt. Bill with Paul lost free access to computers, but their interest in this case do not extinguish, and in 1971, the Company Information Sciences invited the children to write a program for payroll. This time the boys were not only unlimited access to computer, but also bonus for trouble-free work of the flashing.

Bill has developed a program for your school – she had a schedule of classes. The author of the program has not failed to provide the program algorithm, which acted on the timetable that the Bill got to engage solely in conjunction with the most adorable girls school. In fifteen years, Gates sold his first good paid program for developing software, optimiziruûŝego traffic, he was twenty thousand dollars. Around this time, Bill has taught programming their peers at school.Several parents to scare craze of the son, and of the whole year boy's father and mother have read biographies of famous people and was completely removed from the computer. But seventeen years Bill made a very generous offer, which parents were no longer able to simply reject. For one year he wrote a software package for energy distribution and security of Bonnevil′skoj dam. The payment amounted to thirty-thousand dollars. Just before the end of the school Bill and Paul Allen received a proposal from TRW – it took to find the error and correct it. Legend has it that this work has prompted Bill Gates at a software company.Harvard University Bill entered the 1973 year. He intended either to execute its child dream and become a distinguished professor of mathematics, either, like his father, becoming a lawyer. However, most of the classes at the University, he was preoccupied with the game of Poker, bridge and Pinball. Due to it's very simple – Gates has chosen the route attracted. So much so that at the end of 1973, Paul Allen, a friend of Bill 's, got a place in Boston at the «Hanivel», and the Gates began to assist in programming. The following year Allen told Gates that MITS has created a new personal computer – Altair 8800. And Bill gather courage, offers to this computer, an entirely new programming language, and later gained the whole world – BASIC. Trial run of the new language passed on Hurrah, and managers of the company offered the young programmers to work.In mid-1974, Bill Gates is a software development firm for computers and Microsoft calls it. At first the newborn company had some difficulties, especially regarding the distribution of new software products. To hire an experienced Manager needed were big money investment, but because the first sale was Mother Mary Maxwell Gates, Gates.

However, the first five customers products Microsoft went bankrupt, and Gates with Allen had to come back in 1979, in Seattle. Then Bill Gates expelled from University for academic failure and chronic absenteeism. However, the Bill was very flattering offer from IBM – on building an operating system for a personal computer, the first in the world. But Gates had to decline because he lacked development needed for such work. He invited IBM contact Digital Research firm, and has not brought to mind the operating system called 86-DOS and invited to their work by Tim Patterson, of its author. After substantial transformation purchased over fifty thousand operating system became known as MS-DOS and was proposed by Gates for the IBM PC.
IBM approved the project and in September 1980, signed with Bill Gates a detailed contract. The main competitor of Microsoft's Digital Research – was forced to change the direction of the business and to withdraw from this market sector. Already in 1981, Paul Allen and Bill Gates convert Microsoft Corporation for production of computer programs. IBM in the same year, produces the first personal computer with MS-DOS 1.0-šestnadcatibitnoj operating system. In this computer software and other products were added to Microsoft COBOL, BASIC, Pascal.

Microsoft starts to grow and opens offices in England and Europe. In 1982, Bill Gates was able to convince managers of IBM to begin expansion MS-DOS – offer to license the operating system to other PC vendors. This decision greatly undermined the position of Apple computers which are provided with the OS of its own design. In 1983, Microsoft creates a computer mouse – Mouse manipulator, which greatly facilitate data input in PC, equipped with a graphical interface. The Corporation is a new text editor for MS-DOS. But perhaps the greatest achievement of the company of Bill Gates in 1983, view Windows.In 1986, Microsoft throws its shares to the public. For the first day of the value of shares is giddy rise from twenty-two to twenty-eight dollars. After another four years, Microsoft is starting to pay dividends to shareholders. Microsoft dominates the market for software products – forty-four per cent of all profits are accounting. But such rapid growth by suppressing competition, that fully recognized the founder of Lotus, Mitchell Kèpor in 1991 year. In the same year the famous magazine "People" compares the Gates with Edison on relevance to the scope of programming, as well as calls his man, have strengthened the position of the United States in the global software industry.

In 1993, twenty-five million people in the world use Windows as registered users. In addition, Microsoft offers Windows NT – a series of operating systems for servers and workstations. In 1995, begins to advertise Windows 95 and already in the first month of 1996, licensed copy of this operating system sold twenty-five million. (C) 1996, 1997 by Bill Gates, the company engages in the following generations of Windows – Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT 5.0 – and significantly improves their work. In 1998, was provided with Windows 98-enhanced version of Windows 95, but after a short time Windows 2000 appears.

In 1994, Bill Gates married Melinda French, and with already two years in their family a daughter Jennifer. Even three years later, a son, Rory, and in 2002, was born the daughter of Phoebe. Melinda Gates company worked before was marry him. After the wedding she left service and devoted herself to domestic concerns.
The basic ideology of the company Microsoft actually has always been aimed at the destruction of competitors and the seizure of power in the market. In the mid-1990s, Microsoft started a war against Netscape's Internet browser. But this time, the United States authorities ' anti-monopoly authorities intervene. In 1998, Microsoft is accused of any fraudulent treatment of consumers and competitors. Bill Gates is on interrogator, which lasts for a total of twelve hours. Witnesses questioned say that Gates was evasive, and ill-will, pridiralsâ to detail, hitril and tried to avoid talking on the merits in important topics. In response to the sensitive issues, Bill Gates, so often referred to bad memory, which was uhmylki from the judge. However, Gates was very much factual material, including emails.

The trial began in 1998, and lasted almost a full four years. From the Corporation in demanded to pay significant fines, penalties and mandatory change your approach to business. Despite agreeing with the decision of the Court of Justice and the promises Microsoft practically nothing has changed in the ideology of its development. Perhaps this is because the number of lawsuits against the Corporation is growing all the time.

In 2001, Microsoft offered users a new product – Windows XP. Today, the operating system is the most extensive in the world. At the end of 2006, there were five hundred and thirty-eight million copies of the operating system. In 2007, selling a Windows Vista and another version of Microsoft Office to Microsoft Office 2007.In the early spring of 2005, the United Kingdom announced that Bill Gates is awarded the title of "Knight Commander of the order of the British Empire" Prevoshodnejšego, no military rank. This title was granted Gates for combating poverty in the world and a significant improvement in the work of British businesses. In the summer of 2007, there was another very special occasions – Bill Gates graduated Harvard, which happened through thirty-four years after its entry into a University.

At the beginning of 2008, Bill Gates announced his retirement from Microsoft, and the desire to do Office & Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, a charitable fund established by them, together with his wife to support projects in the areas of health and education. But experts point out that, if you figure it out, the Bill Gates charity spends much less money than other rich people. Also indicates that a significant portion of the donation Gates sends for the acquisition of computers for schools and licensed the software from Microsoft.

Since the summer of 2008, Bill Gates gave his powers to Steve Balmeru, Director of Microsoft, but remained head of the Board of Directors and the largest shareholder of Microsoft – 8.7%. Departure Gates actually did not affect the productivity of the enterprise. In October 2009, Microsoft offered a new operating system Windows 7 and already in the spring of 2011, has sold 300 million copies.

The same Bill Gates founded the company Bill Gates Company Three ("bgC3"). It is positioned as a research, a not-for-profit, and according to the regulations of the company is "bgC3 works in the field of research, technological development and services hardware and software.
