Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has pledged $15 million to the Computer History Museum, the Silicon Valley institution's largest donation yet. The gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will be applied toward the Mountain View, Calif., museum's $125 million fund-raising effort, which aims to expand educational programs and exhibits, and create a long-term endowment. The donation also will help create an interactive exhibit chronicling the history of computing.
