  1. I enjoyed your presentation, and the video was great to explain the different operating and systems, and their differences. Otherwise I probably would not have understand them. I did not realize how much money that Bill Gates has donated in his life, it is pretty cool to see people doing that.

  2. I thought you guys did a good job, it is good to see someone wealthy giving back to the community as Bill does. I also liked the fact that you guys explained the technology that bill gates developed instead of just saying "Microsoft".

  4. Your presentation was very interesting. I did not about bill gates and his wife creating their own charity. I thought that it was really cool that they also care for people around the world. You guys were strong presenters and did a very good job.

  5. I knew that Bill Gates regularly gave away his money to charity a lot and that there had always been some discrepancies in his past about who owned what, but it's hard to imagine what life would be like now if he hadn't made the moves he did. All of our computer technology came fro a simple text based system. That's amazing. I think the comparison to Mark was also very well thought out because he was even considered an influence in Mark's life. I'd like to know more about why so many sue him and how true the accusations are of his 'crimes.' Good work on explaining his early motivations!

  6. I thought you guys did a great job of giving everyone an idea of who Bill Gates really is. The amount of money that he gives is unreal and it's good to know that he wasn't just in the business for financial reasons. Good job!

  7. I always knew that Bill was rich, but never did I know how he came to be rich and that he was a giving person. I am glad you pointed out these things and shed light on his early career with a video of the new microsoft creation. That is incredible that he scored 1590 out of 1600 on his SAT.

  8. I thought you guys did a good job presenting your project. I did not know thathe dropped out of Harvard, I found that very interesting. I also liked how you compared him to the guy that invented facebook. Very good job!

  9. It would be difficult to find someone who is not aware of who Bill Gates is and having a vague idea of what he has done for computers and the world in general. Most importantly of all his charity work and all of the effort he puts into helping others with his money. You could have gone into more detail about what it is exactly that his charity does but this is a small complaint.

  10. It surprised me to hear that Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard because of how smart he was. But he was still able to create such an amazing program that has forever changed how we use computers today, and he did it just for the great good. He was not in it for the money, and he even donated a big chunk of it to various oragnizations. The only thing I would suggest on improving on is making it more clear what a GUI is because you talked about it a lot but I didn't really understand what it was or its importance.

  11. This was a very interesting presentation. Of course I have heard of Gates but never really knew much about him other than he created Microsoft. I didn't know he was such a giving person. I think that surprised me the most. The statistics about the death rates was incredible because of the money Gates gave for vaccines in other countries. It's amazing to see how much computer programs have changed over the years. I also thought it was interesting to hear the his coal was to have a computer in every household because that goal is for the most part accomplished! Great job! You guys seemed to really know the information and showed passion presenting it!

  12. I learned a lot from this presentation because I didn't really know a lot about what goes on with Microsoft programing. I believe that Bill Gates really did influence the world. My favorite part of this presentation was learning about how they give their money to charity. I believe that this presentation was well done, good job!

  13. I liked the fact that you showed how Gates changed the way we use computers. Showing the video of the first Microsoft OS was very funny because it shows how far we have come with computers. I did know that Gates was a very smart man but i never knew that he got a 1590 on his SAT.

  14. I think you guys did a good job showing the strides that Bill gates made in the technology world, and your comment about him changing the way we learn is so true. I'm glad you added the information about his philanthropy. I think it is just as important as his business ventures.

  15. I love how y'all showed the good person in him not only the smart rich side. I thought it was crazy he dropped out of Harvard when so many people try to get in there. I liked the video you showed. He kind of to me is the clique nerdy boy but has personality to which was cool to see.

  16. I enjoyed your guys' presentation. it is amazing to see what he had developed when tecghnonlgy was not as far along. It is good to see that he is going to be donoting a great deal of his fortune. I wish you guys would have talked more about his intentions of the money that they use for charity in your presentation. but overall it was very informative and interesting, Great job.

  17. It’s weird sitting here writing about Bill Gates on something that he created. It was so weird to see what Microsoft was compared to what it is now. I knew Bill Gates was really smart earlier on but I had no clue that he dropped out of Harvard. I like how you guys focused on how good of a person he was too, not just how he got all his money. It’s nice to know after all his success he still cares about other people and isn’t just money hungry.

  18. I think you both did an over all good presentation. I thought it was amazing how he got a 1590/1600 on his SAT ! That just shows how smart he really is. I also liked your comparison. I thought it was a very good one and easy to understand. The only things that could have been fixed it to make your presentation flow a little better next time. Some things that were said were a little choppy. I also thought the movie was very interesting, but a little too long. Other than that, good job !
