As Microsoft grew, he ws knowing to be very strict and pushed his company to the limit where it could still give out its best.
All his efforts were not in vain as Microsoft has become the buzzword in the IT world. This 53 year old genius is still a part of Microsoft but not as much as he used to. After stepping down as Microsoft's CEO and Chief Software Architect he still remains as Microsoft's non-executive chairman. He is now leading his family's foundation - the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation championing a lot of causes. Some of his foundation's causes are: to reduce hunger in Developing countries, to improve the education in America's high schools, vaccines against malaria AIDS and tuberculosis.
Bill Gates is an avid arts collector, a proud owner of a collection of writings by Leornardo da Vinci. He is also a voracious reader and plays bridge, tennis and golf as well.
