What is the invention of Bill Gates?

Bill Gates and his corporation have made few inventions as such. Generally they have developed other people's work profitably.

Bill Gates's big break came when he developed the Q-DOS operating system for the IBM PC, calling it MS-DOS.

Answer

Well, the first software invention happened when he was 13 or 12 years old, when he began programming on his school computer with ForTran (FORmula TRANslation) and LISP (LISt Programming). The major invention was Windows 1.0, the first software that was commercially used by Microsoft. Then they made Windows 3.0 and 3.1 then 95 and 98.
