Bill Gates is chairman of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions. He discovered his interest in software when he was a child and started programming computers with only 13 years old. Then he went to Harvard University where he developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer, the MITS Altair.
Gates left Harvard to devote his energies to Microsoft, a company he had begun in 1975 with his childhood friend Paul Allen. At that time he already believed that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, so they began developing software for personal computers. Bill Gates is considered one of the smartest businessmen in the world. Here are some of his top picks: Waste Management Inc. (WM), BP PLC (BP), M&T Bank Corp (MTB), Republic Services Inc A (RSG) and The Coca-Cola Co (KO).
