Bill Gates' affect on our life

Bill Gates experienced a relatively normal childhood, growing up with two sisters and attending a public school until seventh grade (Gates 1). William H.

They made a deal with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) to make the operating system for their PCs.

People had to enter commands to start games or programs instead of pointing and clicking like how we do it today. In 1985 Microsoft released their first GUI (graphical user interface) operating system, it was called Windows 1.0 (Windows 2).
