Bill Gates. Microsoft

Biography
The future computer tycoon was born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, the largest city in the northwest United States

Since childhood, Paul Allen and Bill Gates had a reputation for bosom friends. These two personalities united a lot, but there was something that turned this tandem into a strong alliance - they both got carried away with programming.

At 15, he wrote a program for traffic control together, and earned $ 20,000.
In 17 years, Bill has developed a program for the distribution of energy of the Bonneville dam, and earned 30 000 dollars.
In 1973, Bill enters Harvard, which was not particularly interesting to him. He played poker a lot and didn’t really know what to do with his life.

He was bluffing: Gates and his partner Allen did not write a single line of code, but MITS management was interested in the proposal. After a month and a half, Allen presented the finished program to MITS - and it worked. A contract was made with MITS, and Microsoft was born. "The software market was born!" Gates exclaimed then.
