…changed how nearly all of us viewed the personal computer.  Love him or hate him, Bill Gates and Microsoft have made using computers an integral part of everyday life.  It can be argued that without Microsoft and Windows computers would have remained the domain of engineers, scientists and technical geeks.  The advent of graphical-based interface programs and devices made it easy for the rest of us to use computers for a variety of purposes.

Sure, the rumors perpetuate about someone else or some other company inventing the concept and Bill Gates “stealing” the idea.  Fact is, Gates, as Ellison, McNealy and others would later do, saw the value in making something as mundane as the computer into an integral part of daily life be it personal or business related.

So, Bill Gates is the fourth person in this lineup of six men who made internet marketing possible.  Even if the business owner is not fond of Microsoft or Windows chances are their customers like using it.  Making computers easy to use also made them easy to conduct business through, and as the saying goes … the rest is history.
