ปลWhen Bill Gates was around 14 years old his school had a Teletype Model 33 terminal and access to time on a General Electric computer – then an extremely rare commodity for a school. He used it to write his first computer program, a tic-tac-toe game. Eventually the funds to buy computer access ran out and he managed to acquire time on another machine, but he was banned for exploiting a loophole in the operating system to get more access.
This is one of the earliest public images of Bill Gates: a mugshot after he was arrested in December 1977 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The exact circumstances of this arrest are not known but it is said to have been for a traffic violation.

At 17 years old Gates formed his first company with Paul Allen, who would later be a Microsoft co-founder. Traf-O-Data used Intel 8008 chips to take raw data from machines that counted cars and present this in easy to read reports for traffic engineers. Bill Gates later said that the company ended up being “ok successful, not seriously successful” and “made a little bit of money”.
After school Gates enrolled at Harvard University and in his sophomore year developed an algorithm for pancake sorting which remained the fastest known solution for over thirty years. He eventually dropped out before graduating to start Microsoft with Paul Allen.
He and Allen saw an advert for the upcoming Altair 8800 and contacted the company to say that they were working on a version of the BASIC interpreter for it. The company agreed to attend a demonstration, but Gates and Allen had not started work on the software, or seen one of the new computers in person. Within weeks the pair had written an emulator that would behave like an Altair, then created the BASIC interpreter using it. The company behind the computer, MITS, signed a deal with them for the software, leading to the creation of Micro-soft.
Here are shown members of the "Albuquerque Group," the original 11 members of Microsoft Corp. who worked at the company's offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Microsoft, having dropped the hyphen, became independent of MITS in 1976 and moved to Washington in 1979. In the first five years Gates oversaw every single line of code released by the company but also managed the business side.
In 1980 IBM approached Microsoft to create a BASIC interpreter for the IBM PC, as it had done with the Altair 8800. Microsoft co-founders Paul Allen, left, and Bill Gates pose with International Business Machines personal computers after signing a software contract with IBM on October 19 1981.
