Unite us on a journey with Bill Gates, from the day he was born, to be raised as the CEO of Microsoft and his legacy to mankind. Read today in our infographic the Microsoft History from the beginning.
I see one parallel between Bill Gates and myself. I was living in the age of 13 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At this time my mathematics teacher discovered my affinity for computers, and I wrote my first ever program in basic. Would my mathematics teacher not have seen my passion around this area, I might have pursued my second passion, playing football.
William Henry “Bill” Gates III was born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington.
Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows.
The journey of Bill Gates begins with his school time when he meets his friend Paul Allen. While his junior time on Havard, he dropped out to found their first company. The journey continues with establishing a little later already the company Microsoft which was later formed to a Corporation.
The first international office was founded in Japan and was the same year when 1 Million Dollar on revenue was achieved. Windows was born in 1985 and the market saw to much macintosh parallels. Finally, in 1986 Microsoft went public with an IPO of $63 Million of capital gained.

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your mind before writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly
do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Thanks!
