Bill Gates
Paper is no longer a big part of my day. I get 90% of my news online, and when I go to a meeting and want to jot things down, I bring my Tablet PC. It's fully synchronized with my office machine so I have all the files I need.

Eradications are special. Zero is a magic number. You either do what it takes to get to zero and you're glad you did it or you get close, give up and it goes back to where it was before, in which case you wasted all that credibility, activity, money that could have been applied to other things.
Bill Gates
Our vision, which has not changed since the day the company was founded.
Bill Gates
In some ways, if you make mistakes with your own money, you don't feel as bad about it as if it was someone else's.
Bill Gates
Learn from your unhappy customers.
Bill Gates
Well, no one gives aid to Zimbabwe through the Mugabe government.
Bill Gates
The scientific understanding of some of these [childhood] diseases is advancing quite rapidly. There's some things like premature birth or nutrition, first day deaths that we need a lot more insights so that we can build the tools to solve those problems.
Bill Gates
If something's expensive to develop, and somebody's not going to get paid, it won't get developed. So you decide: Do you want software to be written, or not?
Bill Gates
