Bill Gates, whose full name is William Henry Gates III, is simply Bill or Gates. Born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington, USA, he is an entrepreneur, software engineer, philanthropist, and founder of Microsoft Corporation. He used to be the chairman, CEO and chief software designer of Microsoft.

At one time, he was the richest man in the world.

1. The establishment of Microsoft has promoted the development of human informatization, facilitated the exchange of information all over the world, and changed the way of life of all mankind.

2. Committed to philanthropy, he established the Bill and Melinda Gates Association, which helped many people.

3. After becoming the richest man in the world, he has become the idol and goal of many young people, and I have also done some inspirational lectures.

Microsoft is improving the way people live, work, and communicate with its powerful, easy-to-use products and technologies. Microsoft's efforts have not only improved the productivity of individuals and teams, but also brought about an innovative digital home lifestyle, as well as an enhanced competitiveness and exciting computing experience.

Microsoft not only occupies the hegemony of the operating system, but also continues to conquer the city and conquer the land in the field of application software. Now it's making the inroads into the Internet, and as mentioned earlier, its browsers have become Netscape's most formidable challengers.

Microsoft's tentacles are widespread, from online travel services, online car sales, investment consulting, to cable television, game entertainment, etc., the impact is everywhere.

Microsoft's strategic goal is to target large corporate customers. In the newly launched BackOffice system, Microsoft has added a commercial server software system for online business transactions. The Windows NT system also includes basic Web server systems such as web information servers.

Microsoft has been able to support Bill Gates to be the richest man for so many years, of course, not only by a single industry, but also by various services under the Microsoft empire, which inevitably have the dominant cloud services, Xbox, etc.

In 1975, at the age of 19, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University and founded Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen. The company's initial business was to sell basic interpreters. At that time, there were not many companies making software in the market, and Microsoft seized the opportunity of the rapid development of personal computers to write basic interpreters for computer manufacturers.

In just a few years, Microsoft Basic has become the market standard. In 1980, Microsoft began working with IBM to provide operating system software for its PCs. With the expansion of IBM's computer business, Microsoft's MS-DOS system has also become popular.

In the 21st century, Microsoft still occupies the first position in the software industry, in 2000, Bill Gates handed over his mantle to Ballmer, Ballmer took office and actively led Microsoft to break free from a single industrial chain structure, it has launched Xbox and Kinect, spent huge sums of money to acquire Skype and Yammer, and also developed Microsoft Dynamics business software ......During the Powell era, Microsoft's sales tripled to $78 billion, while net profit grew from $9 billion to $22 billion.

More than 95% of the Fortune 500 companies now use Azure, including rivals such as Apple. After the concept of artificial intelligence became popular, Microsoft proposed a solution to combine Azure services with artificial intelligence, which was well received by the industry. In Microsoft's recent financial report, cloud services accounted for a quarter of the company's total revenue, which can be said to be Microsoft's most important business at present.

Microsoft console Xbox. Now, in addition to selling game consoles, Xbox also provides developers and players with the best game store, which makes a lot of profits at a very low cost by charging a share. In addition, they also provide subscription** services such as Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live, which has also become one of Microsoft's continuous revenue**.

In addition to the above, Office suites, OEM production services, artificial intelligence platforms, visual studio programming tools, and **** chat software Skype are also contributing to Microsoft's business empire. According to Microsoft's chief technology officer, Kevin Scott, they will also invest in areas such as quantum computing and IoT devices.

It can be seen that Bill Gates's business empire is very large, and it is difficult to support it by Microsoft alone, but in any case, Windows is still an important foundation for Microsoft to be invincible in various businesses, and it is also their biggest signboard.

The father of the invention of the PC was Robert, so today we are going to talk about the story between them, do you know how he invented this thing back then? In 1975, when he was 34 years old, when he invented this thing, he thought why the computer had to be so big that it couldn't fit in a few rooms, so I worked hard to get a small thing. As a result, he really figured it out, and after he came out, a science and technology magazine in the United States interviewed him, and such a wonderful thing caused a sensation once he visited, so two young men studying at Harvard University, when they saw these two young men, one was Bill Gates, and the other was Bill Gates's classmate Paul.

Allan. This thing is very remarkable, and this decision was made right away, and if Robert was willing to take in the two of us to participate in joint research, we would not be able to study at Harvard. Later, sure enough, he didn't read it, he recommended himself, went to Robert's side, Robert looked, these two young men, the milk has not dried up, how capable you are, let's try it, then I will give you a chance, this thing has no language yet, there is no software, you study it carefully, see if there can be something to match it.

Bill Gates and Allen said okay, let's try it, but after eight weeks of busy, sleepless nights, I actually got this thing out, and then many people in the computer industry knew that it was called basic, and after it came out, it was like a tiger with wings. So because of this, the three of them have a cooperation, a good cooperation, starting in 1975, Bill Gates later also established a Microsoft first company, that is, from that time, but their cooperation did not last long, two or three years to break up. Why the gang?

It's because of the problem of property rights, Bill Gates and Allen think that this thing was invented by us, basic, we went to apply for a patent, but Robert thought that this is not like words, you don't have this thing from me, how can you invent that thing, so a lawsuit, the lawsuit turned out, Robert lost, this time he was discouraged, he was unhappy, and he quit the rivers and lakes and quit. It's always okay for Lao Tzu to go back to grow vegetables, and he will study medicine again in another discipline, and he will practice medicine in the second half of his life.

Gates' first product was the Basic compiler, and later the DOS disk operating system.

Gates himself created a wealth myth. It proves that science and technology get rich, and for the development of science and technology, it has given people a new impetus and inspired countless people to use a skill to transform into wealth.

Microsoft's impact... Windows itself as a commodity, its popularity and market share is a miracle for the business field, but standing in the history of civilization evolution, Windows is indeed epoch-making.

The inheritance of civilization was the earliest oral language, which is a linguistic civilization. After the invention of writing, civilization developed for a long time with writing as a carrier, especially the invention of printing, which directly led to the Renaissance and the outbreak of science and technology (without printing, there would be no modern civilization). The contribution of Windows is that it replaces the ability of printed matter to carry information electronically and enables information to be shared.

Can you imagine how long it would take for the information of the United States** to reach China without the Internet? Even with the help of electronic technology (**, telegram), information can be conveyed, but only in limited text, there will be no real-time **, animation. You must know that the previous DOS interface was black.,Only letters.,No Chinese characters, no ** no animation.

Each information carrier has its own specific cognitive tendencies, and speaking of which, Windows may not have contributed more to the evolution of civilization than to the end, and it is specifically recommended to read Bozeman's "Entertainment to Death". In short, in the age of the Internet, information is generally shallow (not derogatory). Balzac, Shakespeare, and Cao Xueqin can only exist in the era of printing in the civilization of writing, but cannot exist in the era of windows.

Popularized (not invented) the Windows system.
