People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

Passionate
It is no doubt that we say Bill Gates is the passionate person. If you really love something, you’ll strive to be the best at it that you can, and that’s what Bill Gates has done. Bill Gates passion for software is what really drove the company to success. Microsoft is a company that has made software, and all of their products are always gonna give a quality competitive if they are not the better. They never give up in the competition of new software. Bill Gates’ passion for technology has led Microsoft to be the most successful software company and you will never denies the trues.

Creativity
In the early years, software are free and no payment are given to the software developer. However, Bill Gates felt the different ways in this concept, he thinks that software can become a new types of business. Then, the famous Open Letter to Hobbyists is written by Bill. In the letter, Gates expressed frustration with most computer hobbyists who were using his company's Altair BASIC software without having paid for it. He asserted that such widespread unauthorized copying in effect discourages developers from investing time and money into creating quality software. He cited the unfairness of gaining the benefits of software authors' time, effort, and capital, without paying that author anything. Finally and until now, software are bundled with the machine and the current distribution method.

Smart is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective

Innovation
Innovation can be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new. Bill show his talent in innovation. He proposed using 86-DOS (QDOS), an operating system similar to CP/M that Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products (SCP) had made for hardware similar to the PC. After adapting the operating system for the PC, Microsoft delivered it to IBM as PC-DOS in exchange for a one-time fee of $50,000. Gates did not offer to transfer the copyright on the operating system, because he believed that other hardware vendors would clone IBM's system. He smartly use the resources or creation of others to benefit himself and the sales of MS-DOS made Microsoft a major player in the industry.
Microsoft is not about greed. It's about innovation and fairness.

Invention
Bill is also a great inventor with plenty of idea. He and Paul Allen developed an Altair emulator that ran on a minicomputer, and then the BASIC interpreter in a few week. Besides, he also create the giant company Microsoft which dominant in computer field now.
I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.

Novelty
He always give surprise in Microsoft new product and successfully attract the eye of the public. The first version of Microsoft's word processor, Microsoft Word was also the first application with such features as the ability to display bold text. Besides, although he not the inventor of mouse but he make everyone use mouse until today. The introduce of Windows also a make a huge change in IT world.
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Bill Gates
Many people may criticise Bill way of business but most of the them is admire by his huge distribution to the charity. Bill has create one of the world's largest charitable foundation "William H. Gates Foundation". Bill may not be the most rich people in the world but surely he is the most generous person in this world.
