-tail from Seattle, Microsoft's hometown, to Vancouver in Canada, a distance of 500 kilometers. Gates and his new wife will be moving into a $ US 25 million house on the shore of Lake Washington.
The Microsoft empire was founded on the motto \" A computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software\". \"Sometimes we'd drop the 'in every home' bit, \" Gates says, \"and sometimes we'd drop the running Microsoft software' bit, depending on who we were taking o.\" In the 18 years since he first suspected that the microprocessor chip was going to change the world, Gates's vision has proved remarkable prescient. As well as business undergoing computerization, a quarter of American homes now contain a personal computer of PC, with a many again planning to buy one in the next two years. They may not all be running Microsoft programmes, but about 90 percent of them are.
Even so Gates admits it has been a longer wait than he originally anticipated. He thought that computer developments would happen much faster. But he hoped for too much too quickly. He says \" I had a far too optimistic time-frame for most of the things I thought would come true- the prevalence of the PC, the effect of the microprocessor, the success of graphical user interface, the success of CD-based software.\" This last development, only now beginning to take hold, and which allows the storage of all kinds of sound and visual information with greatly increased memory capacity, has been eight years in development.
