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.

Reaction paper of pirate of the silicon valley?
"THE PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY"The movie also emphasized the negative qualities of the two gentlemen that are now having big names worldwide. Despite of the unenthusiastic attitude of Steve Jobs to his team and co-founders, he still managed to uplift and give a renowned recognition of the Apple Company. On the other hand, Bill Gates also tried to put everyone down who are in the same business even though Microsoft at first was an underdog. Still, he survived and also made Microsoft as a threatening counterpart to Apple.Moreover, the movie highlighted on how Apple grabbed the idea of the Graphic User Interface from Xerox, how Microsoft purchased the first Disk Operating System from an underground programmer, and how Bill Gates developed Windows behind Steve Jobs' back. For these reasons, the revolutionaries were depicted by the title movie itself as the Pirates of Silicon Valley. And I think, this was the reason why they are the richest person in the world.What was really amazing about the film was that the two contenders actually worked together until Steve Jobs realized that Bill Gates developed Windows using the software that Apple had programmed for their computers. The movie is really interesting for it caters the audience not only the development of the two largest computer companies but also the curious students specially students studying computer-related courses. The character of Bill Gates was quite hard to understand and I just kept seeing him as that nerdy kid who is nuts about computers but the characters of Steve Jobs and Bill.

Bill Gates is the type of person that finds an person with an idea and then helps develop the idea or item. He has never invented one thing, but has put together many things to create a computer system. So, to answer your question he bought the windows phone idea from someone who created it within his company or outside the company and named it "windows phone." He sees the potential in ideas and has the ability to put it to use.

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?"
