Biografía
William Henry Gates III nació el 28 de octubre de 1955. Es hijo de William Henry Gates II, un destacado abogado, y de Mary Gates, una profesora de la Universidad de Washington y directora del First Interstate Bank. Con ellos y su hermana, dos años mayor, vivió en la ciudad de Seattle, en el estado de Washington. Hasta sexto grado fue alumno regular de un colegio público.
Cursó estudios en la escuela privada de élite de Lakeside, en Seattle. Esta escuela tenía ya una computadora en el año 1968, así que Gates tuvo la posibilidad de contactar pronto con la máquina y aficionarse a la informática. También en Lakeside conoció a Paul Allen, con quien más tarde fundaría Microsoft.
Creó la empresa de software Microsoft el 4 de abril de 1975, siendo aún estudiante en la Universidad de Harvard. En 1976 abandonó la universidad y se trasladó a Albuquerque, sede de MITS, para pactar con esa empresa la cesión de un lenguaje para computadoras, el Basic, el 50%. Al año siguiente, se enteró del éxito de la empresa Apple y de que necesitaban un intérprete de Basic.
