Bill Gates is one of the most influential people in the world, known for co-founding Microsoft, a company that changed the way we use computers. Born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, Gates showed an early interest in computers. While still in school, he created a computer program that allowed students to schedule their classes.

In 1975, Gates dropped out of Harvard University to start Microsoft with his childhood friend, Paul Allen. Their goal was to make computers easier to use and more accessible to everyone. Microsoft’s big break came in 1980 when they created the MS-DOS operating system for IBM’s first personal computer. This success made Microsoft a household name and set the stage for the company to dominate the software industry.

Under Gates’ leadership, Microsoft launched Windows in 1985, an operating system that became the standard for personal computers. Windows made it easy for people to interact with computers using a graphical interface, which was a big leap from the text-based commands of the past.

Gates stepped down as Microsoft’s CEO in 2000 but remained involved with the company for several years. He then shifted his focus to philanthropy, founding the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with his then-wife, Melinda. The foundation aims to improve global health, reduce poverty, and expand educational opportunities.

Today, Bill Gates is known not just as a tech pioneer but also as a philanthropist who has donated billions of dollars to causes worldwide. His work continues to have a significant impact on technology, health, and education.
