Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on the 28th of October 1955. His dad is William H. Gates and his mom is Mary Maxwell Gates. He has one more elder sister Kristi Gates and one younger sister Libby Gates. At 13 years he went to Lakeside School, a private academy. While at  school he built his first computer programming the General Electric framework in BASIC and was excused from classes to seek after his interest. 

He constructed his first PC program on the General Electric machine. Gates met Paul Allen at the school and they cooperated to discover bugs in the PDP-10 framework having a place with Computer Center Corporation. Gates, Paul and two different understudies composed a finance program for Information Sciences for computer time and royalties. After that it lead on to his school ending up completely mindful for his programming abilities, he made a program to plan understudies in classes. 

At 17 years old he and Paul began an endeavor called Traf-O-Data, to make traffic counters dependent on Intel 8008 processors. Gates moved on from Lakeside School in 1973 and was a National Merit Scholar, he scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT. He enlisted at Harvard College in the pre-winter of 1973 where he met Steve Ballmer. Gates didn't have an examination plan at Harvard however he invested a great deal of energy utilizing the PCs. In 1974 he joined Paul Allen at Honeywell. In 1975 the MITS Altair 8800 dependent on Intel's 8080 CPU was discharged. Bill and Paul considered this to be a chance to begin their own product based organization. 

In 1975 Gates read an article in the January of Popular Electronics magazine that demonstrated about the Altair 8800, Gates reached MITS, the makers of the new microcomputer, to inform that he and others were chipping away at a BASIC mediator for the stage. Gates and Allen didn't have any composed code, they wanted to gauge the interest of MITS. They met with the MITS president and had built up an Altair emulator in a couple of weeks to show on a minicomputer and afterward the BASIC translator. The show was a triumph which lead onto an arrangement with MITS to convey the mediator as Altair BASIC. Paul Allen was contracted into MITS and Gates took a leave of absence  from Harvard to work with Allen in November 1975. They named their association Microsoft, after a year the hyphen was dropped, and on the 26th of November 1976  the  name Microsoft was enrolled. 

IBM approached Microsoft to compose a BASIC code  for the new IBM PC, Gates alluded them to Digital Research as they required a working framework, yet the talks turned out poorly. So IBM agents spoke with Gates around the discourses and he proposed utilizing 86-DOS claimed by SCP, a working framework  like the PC. Microsoft made an arrangement with SCP to turn into the selective authorizing operator In the wake of adjusting the working framework for the PC, Microsoft conveyed it to IBM as PC DOS in return for a one time expense of $50,000. 

The offers of MS-DOS made Microsoft a significant player in the business. Regardless of IBM's name on the working framework, the press immediately recognized that Microsoft was being compelling on the new PC. The PC was called by a specialist in the business as "Gates PC". The organization was rebuilt on the 25th of June 1981, Gates became the president and board director. 

Microsoft propelled its first retail form of Microsoft Windows on 29th November 1985 and hit an arrangement with IBM to build up a different working framework called OS/2. IBM and Microsoft built up the primary form of the new framework effectively, yet their organization disintegrated because of creative differences. 

Microsoft has been developing from that point forward. The product and equipment items have been extending from Windows OS, Microsoft Office Suites, Office 365, Xbox, Bing, Hotmail, the rundown goes on. 

Since 1975 Microsoft has had control over the product showcase, Windows programming is utilized in many organizations. They have reliably stayed aware of the progress and that is the reason they remain the number one software company on the planet.
