The Rest is History |
Many people probably don’t know that Microsoft is the company that created the Xbox. It is probably one of their most successful products they have made since so many people play on them everyday. In 2007, they launched Windows Vista and the 2007 Office system. These products were the first Microsoft product to be put out world wide. A year later, Bill decided to change his day-to-day life of working at Microsoft to spend more time working with the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a foundation that wants to enhance health care and reduce poverty around the world and expand educational opportunities in america. Bill didn’t found this though, but his wife Melinda did. She has almost as much money as Bill with $70 billion dollars. The foundation overall had $53 billion in 2010. But even though bill was gone for a little Microsoft continued to make and produce products. Microsoft came up with the idea to create a new search engine to use on your computer. This search engine was called Bing. Now of course it didn’t beat Google in any way, it still was successful. Eventually Bill stopped doing as much with his foundation and went back to work with Microsoft. In 2010 Microsoft came out with a computer software update, Windows 7. Many people had this on their computer for years until Windows 8 came out. Most recently they have launched the Windows 10 software.
In 2014 Bill Gates announced that he was stepping down from his spot as CEO of Microsoft. Although he still has something to do with the company. Now he is able to work with his wife more on their foundation to help improve the world. Being the richest man on the Earth, he doesn’t just waste his money. He has given a lot of it away to charity.
Overall Bill Gates and Microsoft have done a lot for the people of the world. They have allowed so many people access to computers and technology and Bill is trying to make the world a better place and let people have access to more.
