Why did bill gates invent window?
He didn't. He invented Microsoft, but I do not know why. :(Gates, along with Paul Allen founded Microsoft to make money out of software. Making money is the commonest reason for founding a company!Bill Gates did not invent windows.The idea of using a system based on having a user's experience of interacting with a computer based on a screen using the windows, icons, menus and pointers (called WIMP) system was first developed by employees of the company Xerox (best known for their photocopiers) at their Paulo Alto Research Center.It was picked by first by Steve Jobs, who saw more in it than the managers of Xerox did, and it was popularised by him in his Apple computers. Bill Gates eventually came to see that this "user friendly" approach - where you use a mouse to go and click on a picture on a screen, or an item on a menu, and get up a "window" with your program working in it - was much more appealing to non-technical users than typing instructions on to a black background and have then the result show up as another set of words or numbers on the screen.All versions of Microsoft Windows (number 8 is about to launch at the time of writing) since then have been the work of hundreds, or even thousands of people working for Microsoft.I hope that tells you why Microsoft started producing software that gave us the WIMP system - it is seen as more "user-friendly." If you want a quick glimpse of what PCs were like before Windows, go to the Start menu and type "cmd" into the box at the bottom (or click on "Run" and use the box that come up - depending on which version of Windows you are using). You should get up a box with black background. Try typing the word "email" into it. Nothing will happen. Then press the Enter key and see if you understand what comes up. Before Windows everything was like that on the PC.You can close the "Command window" you just created by clicking on the button on the top right corner - like any other window.Now close that "command" box (which was what "cmd stood for). Find the email program on your system and (if it is closed) use your mouse to click on the email icon. You now know why people preferred the WIMP system.When you were in DOS that black screen was the totality of what you had to deal with to start a program or make other things happen. The only way to get rid of it (aside from starting a program) was to turn the PC off.It worked, but only for people who were really comfortable with typing in commands like "dir *.doc /p /oa" (if I remember correctly!) who mourned the loss of the DOS interface. Most people prefer having a system based on clicking on icons to start programs or open files.But, though Bill Gates eventually saw the virtues of the WIMP system (being a geek he was quite happy with the text-based system you just saw in operation), he did NOT "invent it". He didn't even write the software for the Microsoft version - that was far too big a job for one man.
Why logic gates are called logic gates?
Logic Gates are electronic building blocks of a digital system. Their physical manifestation may take any form, but essentially a logic gate consists of a collection of binary digits and a set of rules where such digits are combined to give a resulting set of binary digits. The rules that are implemented by logic gate are of the fundamental Boolean Algebraic Operations. Logic gates may be coupled together so that digital input to a system produces a predetermined digital output. It is a logical set of rules. The concept of digital information flowing into a system through an electronic pathway coveys a perception that gave someone the idea of a gate when this was named long ago.
Did Leonardo Da Vinci invent the helicopter and plane?
He didn't physically invent it but he did come up with the idea.
How do you use command prompt and what does it do?
Command prompt is the new name for MS_DOS prompt or just DOS promt. Before the "point and click" icons we see on our desktop were invented by Bill Gates and the Microsoft Corperation, basic lines of text were used to navigate through your computer. If you look above at the address bar you will notice that the letters also have the character "/" in there. When used in combination with basic text titles, you can make what's called a destination string. A destination string is just like a map is to you and I. "c:/windows/system" tells the computer to start in the "C Drive" and find the "Windows" file and open it. Now the computer looks at the last entry "System" and looks for that file an opens it. This is just an idea of what happens and why. If you would like to learn more, go find a book called MS_DOS for Dummies. It's about as much fun as watching paint dry, but it's the backbone programming to most Microsoft, Unix, and Linux systems. (I know nothing about Mac's)

Is Microsoft Word and Excel invented by bill gates?
Bill Gates did not make up the name Microsoft Word. It was one of his colleagues who thought of it. They had come up with the Word Processing program and one of his colleagues said "Well why don't we name it Microsoft Word?" Gates liked this idea because before Microsoft was not a well known company. This name would accurately tell what it was and help make their company more popular and known throughout the world.
Did bill gates come up with the idea of windows?
Steve & Bill did work together, after they made DOS they decided to make a more user freindly GUI(pronounced Guwee)which is a Graphics User Interface. They played with the idea around then put the first windows out on the line, Steve resigned as co-founder of Microsoft shortly after due to health issues. They reason they called it windows was because of the idea of multiple user panes, that were evetually dubed windows. but in short, YES, it was his idea. But Steve did alot of the programing and mananging for it in the beginning.

Where did the idea of Microsoft come from?
Around 1980, Microsoft was a small software company that signed a deal with with computer giant IBM to develop the disc operating system for the new IBM PC. The software was to be known as PC-DOS (personal computer disc operating system). Included in the deal was permission for Microsoft to sell virtually the same product under their own name of MS-DOS. Very soon after the PC was released by IBM, other companies began to clone the IBM and so the start of the PC industry was triggered. Although there were other operating systems that would run the new IBM clones, MS-DOS was seen as the fully compatible one to use. From a tiny software house, Microsoft was launched into huge organization that it is today.

How did apple achieved business through the use of information technology and people?
Steve Jobs (Apple) & Bill Gates (MS) Stole Xerox`s idea. Basically Microsoft and Windows were based on an idea he stole from Xerox. Steve Jobs (Apple) & Bill Gates (MS) were together initially. Though my idea is better than URs occured and they went their separate ways. With their own independent companies (MS & apple)

There was that time when Microsoft was sued by Digital Research, it was proved that PC-DOS was a CP/M clone
