More quotes by 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
DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.
Bill Gates
The year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.
Bill Gates
I could name about a dozen paths, and you'd like to have a whole bunch of research on all those paths, and then, eventually, at least four to five companies with really significant financing try and get to big scale, going down and really trying to prove it out.
Bill Gates

People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.
Bill Gates
Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
Bill Gates
If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity.
Bill Gates
I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world. People who are pessimistic about the future tend to extrapolate from the present in a straight line. But innovation fundamentally shifts the trajectory of development.
Bill Gates
I have a particular relationship with Vinod Khosla because he's got a lot of very interesting science-based energy startups.
Bill Gates
People who feared IBM were wrong, ... Technology is ever-changing.
Bill Gates
If something's expensive to develop, and somebody's not going to get paid, it won't get developed. So you decide: Do you want software to be written, or not?
Bill Gates
To be born poor is not our fault, but to die poor is crime
Bill Gates
AIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
Bill Gates
If geek means you're willing to study things, and if you think science and engineering matter, I plead guilty. If your culture doesn't like geeks, you are in real trouble.
Bill Gates
Be nice to nerds, they'll probably be your boss one day.
Bill Gates
It's energy intensification, where we essentially have, through our light bulbs and cars, the manpower of [hundreds of] people working on our behalf, helping our food being created, helping our materials like steel and plastic and wood and paper be created. Our lifestyles are incredibly energy intense.
Bill Gates
Any machine that can run a browser is not thin. The browser has to be the thickest application man has ever invented, and it's getting thicker faster than anything ever development by man.
Bill Gates
I think when smallpox was eliminated, the whole world got pretty excited about that because it’s just such a dramatic success.
