Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted content that the owner wasn't paid for.
Bill Gates
It's not easy to remember, but IBM was the computer industry when I was growing up. You loved 'em. You hated 'em. You knew what they were doing. They had set a standard for mainframes. They also set a standard for great sales focus and heavy product R & D.
Bill Gates
Playing Bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like... I do the dishes every night - other people volunteer but I like the way I do it.
Bill Gates
There's 20 companies that I have investments in - some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.
Bill Gates
I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time.
Bill Gates

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.
Bill Gates
There is competition, .. Can any Microsoft endure future competition without innovation? The answer is no. We've got to keep changing.
Bill Gates
Don’t tax my income, tax my consumption.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Who in their right mind would ever need more than 640k of ram!?
Bill Gates
The competition to hire the best will increase in the years ahead. Companies that give extra flexibility to their employees will have the edge in this area.
Bill Gates
The vision is that people should have the ultimate in convenience. Being able to get the things they care about on the appropriate device.
Bill Gates
Good programmers stay open minded to that even though there is no obvious way to improve what they've done they... they keep looking and they listen to what other people have to say.
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
Bill Gates
The Internet is the easiest thing to get into. To be an Internet retailer, you just get that URL.
Bill Gates
... No one is less happy than I am with the performance of Microsoft stock! I've lost tens of billions of dollars this year - if you check, you'll see that's more than most people make in a lifetime!
Bill Gates
Your customers get better when you do.
Bill Gates
Now everyone takes it for granted that you can look up movie reviews, track locations, and order stuff online. I wish there was a way we could take it away from people for a day so they could remember what it was like without it.
Bill Gates
Microsoft has had clear competitors in the past. It's a good thing we have museums to document that.
