Throughout the history of the world there have been revolutions, martyrs and innovations that have changed the course of humanity. As history has shown, one person can affect many people, one action can move anyone, and one invention can change the entire world. In the case of the developing world of technology, many have tried, but only a few have managed to take part in a rapidly evolving industry and through it all one name has stamped its name on the PC business, Microsoft. It all started with two teenagers imagining an infinite world of possibilities for the world of computing at an early stage. Paul Allen and Bill Gates were two high school students attending Lakeside and their dreams of one day becoming computer moguls began with a word processor, the Teletype Model 33 that they played and programmed with. It was brought from a yard sale attended by the mothers club. It was in the activity room of their private school in Washington. Bill Gates, the younger of the two, was 15 years old, born in Washington to relatively successful parents Bill H. Gates Sr. and Mary Maxell Gates. His father was a prominent lawyer and his mother served on the board of directors of two major corporations. At an early age Bill showed signs of great leadership qualities and later proved them true, he excelled in school and always brought a competitive fire to everything that was usually mistaken for anger and stubbornness. Bill was considered a genius; He made a 1590 on his SAT, devised an algorithm for sorting unsolved problems that was published and applied to modern formulas, and Bill later enrolled at Harvard. Bill graduated in 1973 and left for Harvard. While at Harvard, Gates graduated from law school, intending to follow his father's start menu, taskbar and control panel to be more controlled, awareness of computer viruses and hackers increases, but fears are allayed to some extent by the online provision of security updates. As consumers begin to understand warnings about suspicious attachments and viruses, there is a greater emphasis on help and support. Windows Vista was released in 2006 with the most powerful security system ever made. User Account Control helps prevent potentially malicious software from making changes to your computer. In Windows Vista Ultimate, BitLocker Drive Encryption provides better data protection for your computer as laptop sales and security needs grow. Windows Vista also features improvements to Windows Media Player as more people see their PCs as central places for digital media. Here you can watch television, view and send photos, and edit videos.
