This is the Bill Gates Audio Biography.
William Henry Gates the 3rd or as he is more commonly known, Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. His father, William H. Gates Sr., was a prominent lawyer, and his mother, Mary Maxwell Gates, served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way of America. Gates showed an early interest in computer programming and was enrolled in the Lakeside School, an exclusive preparatory school where he had access to a computer in 1968 at the age of 13.
Gates became fascinated with programming the GE system in BASIC and was excused from math classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first computer program on this machine: a implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer. Gates was fascinated by the machine and how it would always execute software code perfectly.
In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who would later become CEO of Microsoft. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer - the MITS Altair.
In his junior year, Gates left Harvard after reading about the Altair microcomputer in Popular Electronics magazine. He contacted Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) to inform them that he and others were working on a BASIC software interpreter for the platform. In reality, Gates and Allen did not have an Altair to work with or the code to run on it. But when MITS asked for a demonstration, Gates and Allen developed the software on a Harvard computer and raced to Albuquerque to show that it worked on an Altair.
Impressed, MITS hired Gates and Paul Allen as the primary software developers for the Altair. They officially established Microsoft on April 4, 1975, with Gates as the CEO. Early on, all employees had broad responsibility for the company’s business. Gates oversaw the business details but continued to write code as well.
In 1980, IBM approached Microsoft about creating an operating system for its upcoming personal computer, the IBM PC. Though referred to as the IBM PC predominantly in retrospect, IBM originally intended to refer to it simply as the IBM Personal Computer. However, Gates ultimately convinced IBM that the software should not be proprietary, and it could be separately marketed to all PC clone manufacturers.
Microsoft purchased an operating system called 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products. Renamed to PC-DOS, it became the predominant operating systems for PCs into the 1990s. As the PC industry took off and new companies like Compaq introduced IBM PC clones that ran MS-DOS software, Microsoft's fortunes soared from $3 million in revenue in 1978 to $403 million in revenue by 1986.
Meanwhile, Paul Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in 1982 and left Microsoft that same year following treatment. Bill Gates took over full operational control of the company and held it until 2000 when he resigned as CEO and became Chief Software Architect.
In 1985, Microsoft began shipping a software suite called Microsoft Office that bundled word processing, spreadsheet, and other business applications. It quickly came to dominate the personal computer software market. In 1986, Microsoft launched its IPO, which made Bill Gates an instant billionaire at age 31.
Throughout the 1990s, Microsoft dominated the personal computing industry through its Windows operating systems and Office software. Windows 95, released in 1995, became a tremendous success and helped usher the internet into broad popularity. Riding on the success of Windows 95 and pent up demand for Microsoft’s products, the company’s stock price skyrocketed to nearly $60 a share.
By 2000, spurred in part by the success of the iPhone and declining PC sales, Microsoft began to change its approach in order to compete in a landscape shifting increasingly toward mobile devices. Gates transferred his day-to-day activities at Microsoft to Ray Ozzie and Steve Ballmer, who had been the company president since 1998. Gates’ last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. After that, he remained as chairman and also served as an advisor on key development projects.
In 2000, Gates and his wife Melinda founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which was dedicated to funding international health programs as well as educational programs in the U.S. As of 2007, Bill and Melinda Gates were the second-most generous philanthropists in America, having given over $28 billion to charity through the foundation.
In 2006, Gates announced that over the course of two years he would transition out of his day-to-day role at Microsoft to dedicate more time to philanthropy. On June 27, 2008, Gat

(04:13):
to Ray Ozzy and Steve Balmer,who had been the company president since nineteen

two thousand and eight. After that, he remained as chairman and also served
as an advisor on key development projects. In two thousand, Gates and his
wife Melinda founded the Bill and MelindaGates Foundation, which was dedicated to funding
(04:34):
international health programs as well as educationalprograms in the US. As of two
thousand and seven, Bill and MelindaGates were the second most generous philanthropists in

two thousand and six, Gates announcedthat over the course of two years,
he would transition out of his dayto day role at Microsoft to dedicate more
(04:57):
time to philanthropy. On June twentyv seven, two thousand and eight,
Gates retired from day to day responsibilitiesat Microsoft so he could devote himself full
time to the Bill and Melinda GatesFoundation. He did retain a position on
Microsoft's board of directors. However,over several years, Gates gradually sold or
donated much of his Microsoft stock,funding the foundation to the point where its
(05:20):
endowment stood at forty six point eightbillion dollars by late twenty eighteen, with
Warren Buffett donating thirty billion of hisown fortune to the Gates Foundation in July
two thousand and six. Its endowmenthad risen to sixty billion dollars by early

(05:40):
to some of the world's most pressingproblems through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Foundation is focused on improving worldhealth and education, especially for those
in extreme poverty. Some areas ofcurrent interest include infectious diseases, agriculture and
developing nations, water sanitation and hygiene, primary education, and programs from mothers
and infants. The Foundation is organizedinto four program areas, Global Development,
(06:04):
Global Health, Global Policy, andAdvocacy. In United States Program, the

(06:27):
the Foundation. It harnesses advances inscience and technology to save lives in developing
countries. This program focuses on discovery, translation, and delivery of easily accessible
breakthrough interventions like vaccines. The GlobalPolicy and Advocacy Program seeks to build strategic
relationships that spur policies benefiting the world'spoor. One priority is agricultural development,
(06:51):
which Gates believes is key to reducingpoverty in developing countries. More recently,
Gates has shifted his attention increasingly towardcloud timate change, calling for accelerated innovation
and tools that will help humanity adaptto a warming world. In twenty twenty
