-multi-billionare founder

.
+BillGates is the founder of MicrosoftCorporation and a multi-billionare. He lives in a $40 million mansion, and has a wife and (two
?) kids. You do not have to hate
Bill Gates to love Linux
, just avoid keeping pictures
of him in your wallet
. Although you could be forgiven if it's [this one | http://home.sprintmail.com/~rexorliz/billgates.html]. :)
+
+Despite a widely cited quotation that ''640K of memory should be enough for anybody'' being attributed to him, it appears [he never actually said that | http://www.wired.com/news/politics/,1283,1484,00.html].
+
His first big break came when him and friend Paul Allen wrote a [BASIC] interpreter for the first personal computer, the Altair. Microsoft then was contracted to write an operating system for [IBM]. They licensed the operating system that later became [MS-DOS]. From there we got MicrosoftWindows, MicrosoftOffice and the Department of Justice case against them!
