Bill Gates
People think about this idea that there's 122 million kids that are alive that would not be if that fatality rate had stayed at the 1990 level, that's 122 million families.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competitors, the best way to put distance between you and the crowd is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
Bill Gates
If we [Microsoft Corporation] weren't still hiring great people and pushing ahead at full speed, it would be easy to fall behind and become a mediocre company. Fear should guide you, but it should be latent. I have some latent fear. I consider failure on a regular basis.
Bill Gates
Maintaining a consistent platform also helps improve product support - a significant problem in the software industry.
Bill Gates
I have always loved the competitive forces in this business. You know I certainly have meetings where I spur people on by saying, Hey, we can do better than this. How come we are not out ahead on that? Thats what keeps my job one of the most interesting in the world.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Bioterrorism is like earthquakes, you should think in order of magnitudes. If you can kill 10 people that's a one, 100 people that's a two... Bioterrorism is the thing that can give you not just sixes, but sevens, eights and nines.
Bill Gates
