Bill Gates

Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, Developer

Bill Gates is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the former chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.

Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is widely admired, his business tactics have been criticized as anti-competitive and in some instances ruled as such in court.

Since amassing his fortune, he has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000. Since the establishment of the foundation, Gates has given away over $29 billion to charities.

Loathe or love him, his contributions to both the world of computers and charities have changed both worlds in more ways than can be counted.

Bill Gates is awesome. He makes a great contribution to society.

It's better to be a pirate than to join the navy.

Before it became what it is today? You mean a 10% market share?

Bill Gates and Microsoft used to be really big, before Mac became what it is today. If I had the choice, I would never have to/want to use Microsoft hardware or software ever again. My next computer, without a doubt, is going to be a Mac.
