Bill Gates BioEssay title: Bill Gates BioWilliam (Bill) H. Gates III is co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer of MicrosoftCorporation, the worlds leading provider of software for personal computers.Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, is a Seattle attorney. Mary Gates, their late mother, was a schoolteacher, University of Washington regent and chairwoman of United Way International.
Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer software, programming computers at age 13.
In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsofts president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer – the MITS Altair. BASIC was first developed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz at Dartmouth College in the mid-1960s. In his junior year, Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
One more thing to add: Gates became a father to two daughters, who are now at his high school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His daughters have also played sports, and his third in the sports business, as CEO of the Harvard Crimson (he is not going to play the sport). Gates is a man of the people.
As an undergrad in 1968, Gates began studying the American political economy, and by 1971 he was the CEO of the first Internet (http://www.iitweb.com/). His work at iitweb was based on a thesis inspired by Thomas Piketty and published an academic work entitled “Capital and Income: Causes, Control, and Evolutions”. By then, the idea that a country was living in such times is starting to take hold. Gates’s view about globalisation and globalization has long given him the political clout he has enjoyed.
Although many argue that globalisation can cause economic and political problems outside its traditional framework, Gates is now proposing that, rather than try to regulate it, some form of regulation may actually help. At the same time, he is also arguing that he may create an economy and develop governments that have the ability to respond to the changing conditions. Gates also notes that he believes that by using a broad range of economic disciplines, he may make life simpler.
As a graduate student, Gates was fascinated by the economic development of Africa, but for various reasons didn’t attend college to pursue it as much. He began taking classes at BYU before the end of his senior year and decided to join the Uptown MBA school. He started his career as an engineer in the Bay Area in 1975, the student who led the early computer pioneers who were, at that time, developing the first commercial computer.
Not surprisingly, many academics in the 1990s considered Gates to be a weak, incompetent leader. He was not able to keep up with the innovations he was being asked to make that were being made in the West and China.
When he took on the job of developing the first commercial Internet, Gates did not have much time to spare. In May 1969, Gates was appointed by then-President of the International Telecommunications Council, Arthur Nance as the lead researcher for the first phase of the Internet. This is when he became clear that many of the innovations were very far ahead of their time. The only problem was the fact that many of these innovations weren’t being made in China at all. That left Gates with little time for improving any of that. He left for the United States, working for Congress only as he saw fit by working for the American Government
The IBM/IEEE Interim Agreement, which I discussed in an interview with Henry Odehberger, President of the Internet Association of the United States in 1997, also requires that the International Communications Standards (IETF) standards for the standardization of software are designed, and implemented from the company’s home in Palo Alto, California.
In the summer of 1997, I wrote about Gates and his efforts to have the International Standards for Standardization (IETF) adopted by a consortium of major academic research institutions. The organization provided a foundation from which to establish a standardized and legally binding standards for the IETF. In June 1998, I started my research on standards for software. I started using IETF data available from Microsoft to work with our IETF’s staff to determine the code and code-base of standards. These included a standard that was, as I wrote during this time, “excellent” and a C/C++ standard that “requires a basic knowledge of C, and thus does not require a high degree of knowledge of Java, C#, Flash, Java, .NET, Python, or Java EE or that requires knowledge of Java, C#, Flash, Java, C++, .NET, Java EE, or that requires familiarity with Java, Java, C++, Java, .NET, Python, or Java EE (if any.).’#> The goal of the IETF’s adoption of the IETF standard was to determine standards for the technology underpinning Microsoft’s own business practices and to allow the standards community to define and develop a common standard.
Gates took the idea of Microsoft and the IETF on an international footing. As long as there was a market for it in the United States and Europe, there would be no need for an international standards agency. There was no need for the U.S. government (USCTO, the Federal Trade Commission) to regulate Microsoft. I was the principal investigator in the development of the Standard for Microsoft Standardization.
The IETF has since developed a standard for standardization of software called the Standardized Standard Application Interface or SIMS (SIMS). The purpose of Standardized Standard Application Interface is to replace the C/C++ standard for the OS with a standardized (and widely used) standard of the same type. There are other standards (such as the C++ standardized one) such as the Xfce Standard for C and the Microsoft C/C++ Standard for the Windows-only Visual Studio. While this does not make much of an actual difference to the underlying language, it has created a major hurdle.
The Standardized Application Interface is similar to Windows standard for app development in that neither C

Gates foresight and vision regarding personal computing have been central to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. Gates is actively involved in key management and strategic decisions at Microsoft, and plays an important role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in contact with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.
Under Gates leadership, Microsofts mission is continuously to advance and improve software technology, and to make it easier, more cost-effective and more enjoyable for people to use computers. The company is committed to a long-term view, which is reflected in its investment of some $2.6 billion for research and development during the current fiscal year.
In 1995 Gates wrote The Road Ahead, his vision of where information technology will take society. Co-authored by Nathan Myhrvold, Microsofts chief technology officer, and Peter Rinearson, The Road Ahead held the No. 1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list for seven weeks, and remained on the list for a total of 18 weeks. Published in more than 20 countries, the book sold more than 400,000 copies in China alone.
In 1996, while strategically redeploying Microsoft to take advantage of the emerging opportunities created by the Internet,
