Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.

More quotes by Bill Gates
The market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the government to do the right things.
Bill Gates
The phenomenal generosity of the United States in its aid budget towards health issues is the best in the world. You can look at that broadly, you can look at it in terms of HIV, the PEPFAR money which came together in a Republican administration with bipartisan support.
Bill Gates
We'll have infinite bandwidth in a decade's time.
Bill Gates
The government is there day in and day out, if you want all kids to have education, if you want to run courts, if you want to have an army, if you want to have roads, you've got to have the taxation system that funds everything that you expect.
Bill Gates
I like my job because it involves learning. I like being around smart people who are trying to figure out new things. I like the fact that if people really try they can figure out how to invent things that actually have an impact.
Bill Gates
As you get to the end of the project you want to run all the tests cases against one version and make sure that you know that that version passed everything. And so as you get late in the project you get a little more conservative about making radical changes to the software.
Bill Gates
'I don't know' has become 'I don't know yet'.
Bill Gates
There is no doubt PC prices will be coming down.
Bill Gates
Unfortunately, the highly curious student is a small percentage of the kids.
Bill Gates
I think there's even a chance that [R&D and innovation budgets] might be increased [during Donald Trump Administration] and we should go and make that case to the executive branch, to the Congress.
Bill Gates
I'm going to save my public voice largely for the issues where I have some depth.
Bill Gates
The term, information at your fingertips, is to remind people what a broad role the personal computer will be playing. It's not a computation device, it's not a word processing or a spreadsheet device. It's a window onto the world of information.
Bill Gates
Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.
Bill Gates
If somebody is working on a new medicine, computer science helps us model those things. We have a whole group here in Seattle called the Institute for Disease Modelling that is a mix of computer science and math-type people, and the progress we're making in polio or plans for malaria or really driven by their deep insights.
Bill Gates
Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority.
Bill Gates
The fight against AIDS in China is already well underway. The Chinese government and other funders are providing major support, and they'll continue to bear primary responsibility for delivering prevention and treatment.
Bill Gates
If we have optimism without empathy then it doesn't matter how much we master the secrets of science. We're not really solving problems, we're just working on puzzles.
Bill Gates
Learning from mistakes and constantly improving products is a key in all successful companies.
Bill Gates
If you take from the most wealthy and give to the least wealthy, it's good. It tries to balance out.
Bill Gates
I considered law and math. My Dad was a lawyer. I think though I would have ended up in physics if I didn't end up in computer science.
