More quotes by Bill Gates
The first big effects will be farmers that live on the edge. Today's weather, they barely get by. Their kids, a high percentage are malnourished, and so if you impose more variable weather and more heat, you're getting more floods, more droughts, and during the germination time, the high heat, most crops...do poorly when there's more heat.
Bill Gates
I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time. As the successor to DOS, which has over 10,000,000 systems in use, it creates incredible opportunities for everyone involved with PCs.
Bill Gates
Energy is actually harder it takes more time to get a product, but if you do it's a very, very big market and the constraints of doing that in a clean way are more obvious all the time.

Bill Gates
I think given all the different imperatives - getting energy to Africa, security of energy, climate change, that we should be spending half as much as we spend on health, which will get you all the way up to $15 billion - the health people don't like it when things get compared to their number.
Bill Gates
While we're all very dependent on technology, it doesn't always work.
Bill Gates
Billionaires should never be responsible for solving problems, because they're not the government.
Bill Gates
I studied every thing but never topped.... But today the toppers of the best universities are my employees
Bill Gates
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.
Bill Gates
More and more software would just increase the number of tasks that the computer would help solve.
Bill Gates
Microsoft is always two years away from failure.
Bill Gates
A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary activity where you sit in an office with the door closed all day and write lots of code.
Bill Gates
I am not a huge gamer. My son knows a LOT more than I do about what is cool on Xbox. I played Halo but the sports games that the whole family can use are the things I use the most. I threw the javelin very very far!
Bill Gates
There certainly is a case to be made that taxes should be more progressive.
Bill Gates
In the long run, your human capital is your main base of competition. Your leading indicator of where you're going to be 20 years from now is how well you're doing in your education system.
Bill Gates
People should just buy a CD and rip it. You are legal then.
Bill Gates
There's always been a lot of information about your activities. Every phone number you dial, every credit-card charge you make. It's long since passed that a typical person doesn't leave footprints.
