More quotes by Bill Gates
On the supply side, for innovation, you'd say, go look at those R&D budgets, and they haven't moved in the last 20 years.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates
People often overestimate what will happen in the next two years and underestimate what will happen in ten.
Bill Gates
I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.
Bill Gates
Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
Bill Gates
Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.
Bill Gates
The Internet will help achieve friction free capitalism by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other.
Bill Gates
So not only are we saving lives now, we're creating the incentive for the breakthroughs that over the next generation will mean we can take AIDS, malaria and TB and bring those numbers dramatically down.
Bill Gates
Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself. And there was no project methodology or schedule that, there was the notion of coming to a close means testing a lot at the end and making very few changes.
