生平简介故事简历资料传记
盖茨出生于美国西海岸的西雅图的一个上层家庭，父亲是当地的著名律师。盖茨是一名出色的学生，而且以极端个人主义闻名；根据他的一名高中同学的回忆，盖茨曾断言自己会在25岁时成为亿万富翁。在1970年代，还在哈佛大学读书的盖茨与伙伴保罗·艾伦（Paul Allen）一起为Altair 8800电脑设计Altair BASIC解译器。Altair是第一台商业上获得成功的个人电脑，而BASIC语言是一种易用易学的计算机程序设计语言，盖茨与艾伦所开发的BASIC版本就是后来的Microsoft BASIC，也是MS-DOS操作系统的基础，而后者又是微软公司早期成功的关键。Microsoft Basic后来成了Microsoft QuickBasic，并逐渐演变成为今天依然流行的Visual Basic。
青年盖茨在1970年代早期，盖茨写了一封著名的《致爱好者的公开信》，震惊了计算机界。盖茨宣称计算机软件将会是一个巨大的商业市场，计算机爱好者们不应该在不获得原作者同意的情况下随意复制电脑程序。当时的计算机界受到黑客文化影响，认为创意与知识应该被共享。盖茨随后离开校园，一手创办了世界上最成功的企业之一――微软公司，并逐渐将软件产业化。
但是盖茨的商业手法往往召至非议，其中之一就是MS-DOS的来源。在1970年代末，IBM正在计划进入个人电脑市场，并在1981年正式推出了IBM个人电脑（PC）。IBM需要为自己的产品寻找合适的、基于英特尔x86系列处理器的操作系统。IBM在与另一家公司简短谈判后找到了微软。而微软则又在未告之自己正在与IBM谈判的情况下找到了西雅图电脑公司，以据说是5万美元的价格向该公司购买他们所开发的操作系统（微软的支持者称，当时微软与IBM有协议，规定微软不得向外界透露谈判事宜）。微软之后再授权IBM使用该操作系统（已经更名为PC-DOS）。微软还与其他电脑生产商谈判，将经过更改后的MS-DOS系统安装到每一台新电脑上。事后西雅图电脑控告微软在未告之事实的情况下以极低的价格购买该公司的产品，但是双方最终达成庭外和解。盖茨的声誉因1990年代末美国政府一系列控告微软垄断的案件而再度受损。
1980年代中期盖茨对光盘作为数据储存媒介的前景感到乐观，因此积极推广CD-ROM。
盖茨也被指控商业行为不检点。盖茨多次被控告在他的领导下，微软公司的很多商业行为违反了美国的法律。
2000年，盖茨任命他长期的好友史蒂夫·巴尔默（Steve Ballmer）为微软首席执行官，而自己则为“首席软件设计师”（Chief Software Architect）。
在私生活方面，盖茨在1994年1月1日与琳达·法兰奇（Linda French）结婚。他们育有3个孩子：珍尼佛·凯瑟林·盖茨（1996年）、罗里·约翰·盖茨（1999年）和菲比·阿黛尔·盖茨（2002年）。
盖茨与夫人一起创办了慈善组织比尔与梅林达盖茨基金会（Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation）。批评者认为基金会的创立只是对公众负面评论微软公司垄断行为的回应。但是我们也应该注意到，无论动机为何，该基金会在为贫穷学生提供奖学金、艾滋病防治方面有很大贡献。
2004年英国外交部宣布，比尔·盖茨将被英女皇册封为英帝国爵级司令勋章（KBE），以表彰其在英国的企业发展、就业、教育和志愿事业等方面做出的杰出贡献。KBE是女皇可以授予外国公民的最高荣誉称号。

资产：比尔盖茨究竟有多少钱？
2004年，这已经是第十年了，比尔盖茨坐稳了《福布斯》富豪排行榜的头把交椅。这位微软公司的创始人之一和董事长，从1997年就居住在一所方圆两公顷、价值1.1亿美圆的豪宅里。同时他还是2004年世界上最慷慨的人，他的慈善捐款超过了30亿美圆。
根据《福布斯》统计。这位电脑时代的“奇才”目前名下净资产为466亿美圆，虽然仍大大少于他在1998年创下的1000亿美圆的记录，但是这样的财富，已经超出常人的想象。也许这样计算会更容易理解：
盖茨每秒赚250美圆，即每天赚2000万美圆，一年赚78亿美圆；
假如盖茨掉了1000美圆，他也懒得去捡，因为他去捡要花掉4秒钟，这一弯腰他已赚回1000美圆；
美国的国家债务约56200亿美圆，如果由盖茨来还，他能在10年之内还清美国的债务；
如果盖茨将钱捐给地球上每个人15美圆，到头来，他还剩下500万美圆零用钱；
假如盖茨是一个国家，他将是地球上第37个富有的国家，或是美国第13家大公司，甚至比IBM还大；
如果盖茨将所有钱换成1美圆一张，你可以建一条路连接地球和月球，来回14次，但你必须用1400年不停的建造这条路，而且用731架波音747飞机来运这些钱。

雾都孤儿英文读后感2007-06-13 20:50To Regain the Nature of Goodness
-- Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

he novel described for the 20's through the perfect artistic form to sell "the American dream" which liquor nouveau riche Gates compared pursues vanishing, has promulgated the American society's tragedy. Gates and bids good-bye compared to and the black eyebrow coloring alizarin red love originally is the very ordinary love story.
