　　Gates, William Henry Ⅲ, is the American business executive（管理人员）who serves as chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Microsoft Corporation, the leading computer software（软件）company in the United States. Gates founded Microsoft in 1975 together with his high school friend Paul Allen. The company's success made Gates one of the most successful figures in the computer industry and, at last the richest person in the world.

　　Born in Seattle, Washington, Gates attended public school through the sixth grade. In the seventh grade he entered Seattle's exclusive Lakeside School, where he met Paul Allen. Gates was first introduced to computers and programming languages in 1968, when he was in the eight grade. That year Lakeside bought a teletype（电传打字）machine that connected to a main computer over phone lines. At that time, the school was one of the few that provided students with access（连接）to a computer.

　　Soon afterwards, Gates, Allen, and other students persuaded a local computer company to give them free access to its PDP--10, a new mini-computer made by Digital Equipment Corporation. In exchange for the computer time, the students tried to find flaws（缺陷）in the system. Gates spent much of his free time on the PDP--10, learning programming languages such as BASIC, FORTRAN, and LISP, In 1972 Gates and Allen founded Traf--0-- Data, a company that designed and built computerized car--counting machines for traffic analysis（分析）. The project served to introduce them to programmable 8006 microprocessor（微处理器）from Intel Corporation.

He and his friend Paul Allen started a company called Traf-0-Data. Their goal was to use new computer technology to count passing cars. The company went broke. After all he was only in the eighth grade. And it didn't discourage his interest in technology. In fact, it was because of his passion for programming that he later dropped out of Harvard. He spent two dissatisfying years at the university before he left to form another company with Allen. Gates and Allen called their software company Microsoft. In the 1970s it was only a small operation running out of loaned offices in Arizona. Gates would work late into the night and sometimes sleep under his desk. Today, Microsoft is the software industry giant. As chairman and chief executive (行政的) officer of Microsoft, Gates operates as the prince of programmers.
