I would imagine that he employed them as he went along. The fact here is that Microsoft (the name is allegedly inspired from Bill Gatess genitals) is an international corporation, that has its subsidiaries in practicly every country in the world, and does more than just develop new crap, but sells it, promotes it, provides service for it... ect. Even though Gates may have had the idea and did work in his field, there is still much more to Microsoft than just what he does or did.

no. for the poor to have more doesnt nessesarily reduce what the rich have.
and for the rich to have less, wont give the poor less. you see the pool of money which we draw from is not a set number. it varies with the wealth that is created
