Further, how he built the Microsoft empire and changed technology, business, and society. It also briefly examines a few of the legal cases against Microsoft.
From the paper:
"William or ?Bill? H. Gates III is chief executive and co-founder of the largest software company in the world, the Microsoft Corporation. Last year, Microsoft made a $953 million dollar profit on sales of $3.75 billion dollars. As Microsoft's largest stockholder, Bill Gates is worth nearly $6.1 billion, making him this country's second wealthiest man. He is at thirty-eight years old, America?s youngest self-made billionaire. Microsoft's $25 billion market value tops that of Ford, General Motors, 3M, Boeing, RJR Nabisco, General Mills, Anheuser-Busch or Eastman Kodak. (Resin ?The Bill Gates Interview?) This paper will attempt to analyze the character of Bill Gates, explain the nature of the corporation he created, and explicate some of the difficulties he and his corporation have faced economically and personally. It will suggest that although Gates has done many controversial things throughout his life as both a man and as chief executive of Microsoft, the overall effects he has had upon the country and upon the computer industry have been positive ones."

From the Paper
"William H. Gates (Bill Gates), Chairman and Chief Software Architect of the Microsoft Corporation is quite possibly the most well known man in the world. He was born on October 28th, 1955. Coming from a long line of William H. Gates, which can be traced back to the early 1800's there was no doubt when he was born exactly what his name would be. Although William H. Gates should be an III, there was no numeral denomination placed on his birth certificate. His grandmother Adelle Gates immediately dubbed Bill Gates "Trey" in connection with the III. Bill Gates was the second of three children, he has an older and a younger sister. His father William H. Gates II is an attorney in Seattle who used to refer to Bill Gates as "Little Bill" and his mother whom has since pasted away used to be a schoolteacher. Bill Gates grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. Bill attended public elementary school and then attended private school for the remainder of his primary education. When Bill Gates attended private school he discovered his interest in software and started programming at the early age of 13."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief biographical background of Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft empire. The paper examines how Gates revolutionized and standardized proprietary software and continues to expand his empire's reach to include search engines and music downloading. The paper contends that Gates remains brash, eager, and able to capitalize upon the opportunities of the marketplace; he is also willing to offend to gain riches and exposure. The paper agrees that the combination may prove irritating to his competitors and even stymie competition, but one must at least acknowledge the power of personal computing and the contribution Gates has made, even though he did not make his technical or his business contributions alone.
From the Paper
"According to the official Microsoft website that chronicles his life and times, Bill H. Gates was born on Oct. 28, 1955, Gates grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. ("Biography: Bill Gates," 2004) His beginnings were as unpretentious as they were low-tech. Gates' father, William H. Gates II, was a Seattle attorney. The Gates' children late mother, Mary Gates, was a schoolteacher, University of Washington regent, and chairwoman of United Way International. Thus Gates was not 'to the manner born,' despite his current great wealth, although his mother's altruism may sponsor his current foundation and the spirit of volunteerism the foundation is designed to foster."

From the Paper
"Not all companies involved with telecommunications are interested in working so intimately with Microsoft. Nokia, the Finnish cell phone manufacturer, has its own software and a rival operating system (Taylor, 2002). If Nokia is successful, consumers will have a choice between at least two software systems for expanded telecommunicating. Motorola and Qualcomm also have their own independent plans for telecommunications software. Hewlett-Packard has come out with a hand-held computer that includes a ?smart? phone. The HP Omnigo 700 can send and receive faxes and data faxes as well as short messages (Weinberg, 1995). It reminds consumers of the advent of VCR?s. For some time after VCR technology developed, two formats existed -- BETA and VHS. Consumers really didn?t know which one would emerge dominant for several years. Eventually, the needs of the industry as well as consumers demanded one standard format, and VHS won out."

From the Paper
"BILL GATES, A MODERN-DAY HENRI FAYOL?
If there can be called a "founder" of management theory, most academicians would vote for Henri Fayol, a Frenchman who laid down precepts for how organizations should work. Fayol saw the manager as the productivity key, and he suggested 14 principles that managers should follow. Bill Gates, who is the founder of Microsoft Corporation can be said to closely emulate the tenets put out by Fayol.
As Fayol saw it, organizing is the first step in turning a plan into a reality. Organizing has the goal of maximizing the results of the product life cycles, and businesses use several systems for achieving this. Primary models are: decentralization (in which there is a flattening or elimination of organization charts and putting decision-making responsibility ..."

From the Paper
"Bill Gates's rise to prominence in the computer industry represents the quintessential American success story. Gates's ranking as the second richest person in the United States and his position as chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Corporation are all the more remarkable given his middle-class upbringing and his educational status as a college drop-out. Through hard work, dedication, superior intellect, and self-sacrifice, Gates is well on the road to realizing his vision of bringing Microsoft products to every computer desktop in the world.
Born William Gates III in 1955 in Seattle, Washington, he was one of three children born to Mary (Maxwell) Gates and William Henry Gates Jr. Mary Gates was a former teacher and a member of the University of Washington Board of Regents and ..."

From the Paper
"This paper reviews The Road Ahead by Bill Gates. One of the individuals most responsible for the computer revolution that put personal computers into widespread use, Gates is now concerned with the building and establishment of the information highway and its impact on modern society. The Road Ahead is an attempt to predict the new technologies needed to make the highway a fully-realized part of daily life and to show the ways in which these technologies will change business practices and everyday activities. Partly a utopian guessing game, the book also provides interesting insights into the areas in which Gates is focusing his company's research and development activities.
When Bill Gates and Paul Allen decided to drop out of school and invest their futures in their belief in the potential market for personal computers, "We set off down a road that was headed.."

The Rise and Fall of Microsoft, 2002.
A discussion of the antitrust case against Bill Gates and Microsoft.
2,189 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the antitrust case against Microsoft and shows how the Bill Gates story can be classified as a tragedy in the same league as literature such as "King Lear" and "Death of a Salesman" where the protagonist invites his own tragic downfall. It attempts to fit the story into the theories of classical tragedy and analyzes how Bill Gates has all the qualities of the tragic protagonist. By dividing the Microsoft story into different acts, it describes Bill Gates' rise as the computer mogul, the court case and the aftermath.
From the Paper
"In point of fact, Judge Jackson, who heard the case and ordered the breakup of the company, has come under criticism for his bias against Gates during the trial. ?Judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia sharply criticized U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson for speaking with reporters during the trial, opening the door for Microsoft's appeal to be upheld, at least in part? (Johnston 5).
Still at issue is whether or not Microsoft meets all of the requirements of antitrust rulings, issues that are forming the basis for the appeals. In fact, most observers see the government?s case against Microsoft as being built on sand."

His transformation of computer applications also increased the way these could be applied in different economic sectors and different areas, as well as in the individual homes."

Abstract
Arnold, a young firebrand, clashed with the stolid, traditional Gates, even though the men were friends. Arnold's "rash, thoughtless" actions may have won the battle whose victory is often attributed wholly to Gates' maneuvers. The contrast between the two tactical styles points up a transition in American military culture from old European formalism to new guerrilla-style tactics, a result of both the character of America's forces, and the generals like Benedict Arnold who commanded them.
