Bill Gates
The AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about.
Bill Gates
If I think something's a waste of time or inappropriate I don't wait to point it out. I say it right away. It's real time. So you might hear me say 'That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard' many times during a meeting.
Bill Gates
If African farmers can use improved seeds and better practices to grow more crops and get them to market, then millions of families can earn themselves a better living and a better life.

Like any well designed software product, Windows is designed, developed and tested as an integrated whole.
Bill Gates
The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates
If you really could take the CO2, when you burn hydrocarbons - coal, for example - if you could really capture the carbon and sequester it - they call it CCS - if the extra capital cost, energy cost, and storage costs over time didn't make it super expensive, then that's another path that you could go down.
Bill Gates
The common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill Gates
I don't think culture is something you can describe.
Bill Gates
A company needs to have good business reflexes, to be able to marshal its forces in a crisis or in response to any unplanned event.
Bill Gates
Now we've got that [children's death rate] down to about 5 percent, so we've more than cut it in half, and that's because we're getting vaccines out, economic improvement also helps there, but the vaccines are why we've seen an acceleration in getting that down.
Bill Gates
We're in a period of uncertainty about [Donald Trump] administration policies and the range of what might happen is particularly higher. I don't think that these R&D and innovation budgets will be substantially reduced.
Bill Gates
We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.
Bill Gates
For Africa to move forward, you've really got to get rid of malaria.
