Bill Gates was born on 28 Oct 1955 in suburb of the
Washington United States. His full name is William Henry Gates. Being a child
he had great interest in computers. The computers were not that advanced as
they are now. At the age of 13 he had learned the skills in programming. He would
improve the software programs of others and sell them in the market. He had
friendship with Paul Allen, who was also interested in computers.
They both were
studying in Harvard University. But the love of computers made them to quit
studies in half way. Their project was
to build a computer language for the running of the computers easy. Their hard
work paid off and they made a basic language for computers. This in the end
made computer possible to become common and easily in everyone’s reach.
After this they
moved to New Mexico, where they laid the foundation of the “Microsoft
Corporation” in 1978. Through this they wanted to make different software. This
field had a huge demand because use of personal computer was increasing
tremendously. Hardware was available in large quantity but shortage of software.
At last they were able to create software that was much needed for computers.
Inspired by this success IBM invited him to create an
operating system. Here Bill Gates intelligence, dedication and hard work had
shown miracles to create the operating system. This operating system was named as
MS-DOS and as a result IBM earned massive profits.

Due to some reasons Paul Allen
separated and Gates continued to his journey alone. He shortly made software
for business world and entertainment to sell these to IBM and other computer
companies. As a result of this his income increased amazingly.
In 1984 Microsoft Company’s business of 100 million dollars
doubled in two years. Companies shares were started to sell in stock exchanges.
In 1994 business reached to $2 billion. This only in one year touched $10
billion. The world has not seen such an increase in income and Bill Gates
became the first in the list of the richest people.
The world of computer has been feasible due to software.
Software is the back bone of hardware. Otherwise computer hardware would be insignificant.
This change has revolutionized the entire scenario. These changes would not be
possible without the struggles of Bill Gate.
