Bill Gates has been well known for his invention primarily on the software side of things. He has of course created Microsoft Windows, which started out as a command line operating system, or what many people know as DOS. It then grew into a GUI operating system, and so on and so forth. Bill Gates, early on, created the first spreadsheet program, which later turned into Excel (then the Microsoft Office package), giving Microsoft a foot in the business industry as well.
