There first office was located in Albuquerque which later moved to the current location today in Bellevue, Washington in 1979. In 1980 Gates life would be changed forever as they made a partnership with IBM. After great success Gates was named the President of Microsoft and chairmen of the board.

2. Making the Era of the Home computer.

During the late 1960s, Bill Gates and his school friend Paul Allen learnt the BASIC programming language whilst studying at Lakeside School in Seattle.

BASIC's popularity stemmed from the fact that it was simple to use for beginners, but had functionality that could be stretched by advanced coders.

While BASIC was designed in 1963, it wasn't until Gates and Allen produced a version for the Altair 8800 that it really started to fly. In 1975, the two sold the code to MITS for $3,000.
