This Article walks through the legendary Bill Gates and Microsoft history as Bill Gates prepares himself to relinquish the leadership of one of the biggest business empires in the world. The first time Bill Gates addressed a technology trade show at Las Vegas, his dad came along to help. Back in 1983, Microsoft co-founder Gates was unveiling a previously unheard of product named Windows at the Comdex computing expo. As he spoke, William H Gates Sr manned the overhead projector, placing each transparency carefully on the screen. Computer projectors and presentation software like PowerPoint had not been invented yet. Fast-forward a quarter century later, to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) commencing from Sunday to January 10 in Las Vegas and its whizz-bang laptops, fancy TVs and amazing mobile electronics and that old projector looks as quaint as a horse and buggy.
