More quotes by Bill Gates

Bill Gates
People don't want lots and lots of single purpose devices. They do not want to have to learn how to set up something for photos, another thing for music, another thing for video.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.
Bill Gates
