Bill Gates, and The Foundation of Microsoft Windows.

Bill Gates founded Windows when he was young, very young. To be more realistic though, the first highly acclaimed production Bill Gates ever made was DOS. The idea truly wasn't unique, or even his own. MS-DOS was derived from an earlier OS created for the Altair system. I guess it just goes to show that simply having a great idea isn't enough, you have to know how to put it to use.

Bill Gates career launched from that first IBM deal. Soon after the first IBM PCs development, other manufacturers began copying IBM hardware designs. These other companies created IBM clone PCs and in turn gave Microsoft, the rights holder for MS-DOS, a huge market to sell to.
