Bill Gates enrolled at Harvard University in the fall of 1973, to follow the steps of his father of a career in law. Although during his first year he spent more of his time in the computer lab rather than in class. He never really studied and would just pass by with a few hours of sleep by cramming his studying and homework late, after his time in the lab. Most of the time passing tests with a decent grade. Within 2 year he dropped out of Harvard (as he says it was only a leave of absence) to pursue his career in business and the start of Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen. In 1975 Gates and Allen formed Micro-Soft, a combination of micro-computer and software. The company had a tough start but already by 1979 the company was worth 2.5 million dollars. At the age of 23 he named himself head of Microsoft. With his ability as a software developer and a keen business sense he led the company as its spokesperson. He would personally review every product that was shipped to ensure top quality and often times rewrite some of the coding when he felt necessary. Once the development of IBM was completed the value of Microsoft between 1979 and 1981 spiked. An additional 83 workers were employed making a tally of 108 and revenue shot up to 16 million dollars. In mid 1981 Gates and Allen Incorporated Microsoft, Gates named Chairman and President and Allen named executive Vice President.
