Bill Gates Bio

In the movie The Pirates of Silicon Valley Bill Gates was in school doing crazy things. Like sleeping with his clothes on, never finding his ties, and dreaming of computers and power. Then he made a company called Microsoft which had no operating system. So, they had to buy one for $50,000.

While at Microsoft, Bill Gates gets scared of Apple's rapid growth. He settles this by going over there and talking to his alliance. We then figure out that his alliance is Steve Jobs. This is good because he is the founder of Apple and has access to the new machines. Right after this Windows is born and Bill Gates gets even more mad so he yells at Steve Jobs.
