Billionaire Computer Genius left Microsoft to change the WORLD >>>
This July William Henry Gates III aka Bill Gates left Microsoft Corporation, the company he founded in 1975, with his friend Paul Allen to focus on philanthropical activities like new vaccine projects and microfinance funding in developing world.
After dominating the PC world for more then 25 years, now the world's greatest entrepreneur is leading the world to a new window....................
Now Gates will work full-time at his charitable organisation —
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which he started in 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been active in India committing millions of dollars for HIV prevention. Since the country is undergoing a microfinance boom, Gates is likely to look at this sector closely.
According to a report , Gates is investing in a new nuclear energy project alongside Nathan Myhrvold’s Intellectual Ventures. Apparently, he’s fascinated by the cross section of biology and computing. Gates also said in the interview that he would be very selective in any type of investment he makes.
“Unless it’s something dramatic, using new science, breakthrough software approaches, breakthrough medical
approaches, it somehow doesn’t grab me, because I’m much more of an engineer and scientist. If somebody says to me, ‘OK, we can do new cookie stores, and we can make zillions,’ I have no interest in spending a minute on that. I hope somebody goes and does that, but that’s not me.”
