EARLY EDUCATION

At the age of 13 years  he was admitted in the Lakeside School,  which was an exclusive preparatory school.  When he was in the eighth grade, the Mothers Club at the school used proceeds from Lakeside School's rummage sale to buy a Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for the school's students.  Bill Gates took an interest in 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: an implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer.

When Bill Gates graduated from Lakeside School in 1973. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1974. While at Harvard, he met Steve Ballmer who later succeeded Bill Gates to be as CEO of Microsoft.

Bill Gates did not have a definite study plan while a student at Harvard  and spent a lot of time using the school's computers. Bill Gates remained in contact with his friend Paul Allen, and he joined him at Honeywell during the summer of 1978. The following year saw the release of the MITS Altair 8800 based on the Intel 8080 CPU, and Bill Gates and Allen saw this as the opportunity to start their own computer software company.  Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard at this time. He had talked this decision over with his parents, who were supportive of him after seeing how much Bill Gates wanted to start a company.

Starting of Carrier:-

After reading the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics that demonstrated the Altair 8800, Bill Gates contacted  with Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), the creators of the new microcomputer, to inform them that he and others were working on a BASIC interpreter for the platform. In reality, they merely wanted to gauge MITS's interest. MITS president Ed Roberts agreed to meet them for a demo, and over the course of a few weeks they developed an Altair emulator that ran on a minicomputer, and then the BASIC interpreter. The demonstration, held at MITS'soffices in Albuquerque was a success and resulted in a deal with MITS to distribute the interpreter as Altair BASIC. Paul Allen was hired into MITS, and Bill Gates took leaves from Harvard to work with his friend Paul Allen at MITS in Albuquerque in November 1975. They named their partnership "Micro-Soft" and had their first office located in Albuquerque within a year, and on November 26, 1976, this  trade was named "Microsoft" and  registered with the Office of the Secretary of the State of New Mexico. After completing his mission, Mr. Bill Gates never returned back Harvard to complete his further education.

Microsoft launched its first retail version of Microsoft Windows on November 20, 1985, and in August, the company struck a business deal with IBM to develop a separate operating system. Although the two companies successfully developed the first version of the new system, mounting creative differences caused the partnership to deteriorate. It ended in 1991, when Bill Gates led Microsoft to develop a version independently from IBM.

From Microsoft's founding in 1975 until 2006, Bill Gates had primary responsibility for the company's product strategy. He aggressively broadened the company's range of products, and wherever Microsoft achieved a dominant position. He gained a reputation for being distant to others; as early as 1981 an industry executive complained in public
