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.

Does Bill Gates discriminate against blacks?

I never have heared about it. Melinda Gates fundation is a filantropic fundation known and with action worldwidely, and Bill Gates and his wife Melinda take part in the fundation works. Due of the importance that Bill Gates get during his life it is impossible that he discriminate against black without be noticed. If he did it he would be already prosecuted and condemned, because a celebrity like Bill Gates cannot pass away without being noticed. The Melinda Gates foundation also helps people in Africa, Latin America and others parts of the world. So it is few probable that Bill Gates discriminate against blacks. He was a nerd, and as a nerd also was victim of some kind of prejudice. I sincerely don't believe that an intelligent person like Bill Gates discriminate any kind of people.
