While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer - the MITS Altair
While in high school, he and Paul Allen founded Traf-O-Data, a company which sold traffic flow data systems to state governments. He also helped to create a payroll system in COBOL, for a company in Portland, Oregon.

Like Prez Harry Truman's chicken in every pot, Gates wanted a PC in every home. He sold the idea of an operating system worked on by him and others to IBM. IBM brought the idea and personal computers in the home became the norm. He was more of a salesman than an inventor but he was the driving force of the PC revolution in the early 1980s..
