Paul Allen（January 21, 1953 – October 15, 2018）是和Bill Gates一起在1975年创办的微软。他在29岁时就被诊断出Hodgkin lyphoma，治愈后又于2009年被诊断出non-Hodgkin lyphoma, 治愈后在2018年又复发，死于septi 脓毒性休克（septi shock）。他去世时财产有$20.3 bilion。
他生前给她母亲建了一个图书馆，因为他母亲爱读书(According to a 1995 Los Angeles Times report, Paul Allen “built a home — with an 1,800?square?foot library — on his estate” specifically for his mother ---from chatGTP）。
这里有一个采访，也许他一生中的唯一采访。是有关他的书和Bill Gates的。Lesley Stahl speaks to Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Paul Allen in his first interview about his upcoming book in which he criticizes his Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates:
我遇到他，那是2015年的事情，应该是在一个Allen Institute for Brain Science的讲座会上，我知道他有病，而且是二次被诊断出癌症，心想他不会出席。可是他出席了。他看上去不像一个有癌症的人（当然都说是他已被治愈过两次，也许他在3年后的去世是癌症复发而引起的并发症造成的），像一个普通人，也没穿西装，也没保镖，身旁也不是有众多围着的粉丝，也没有人让他签名，他说话平坦，不高不低，好像手一直放在兜里也不会帮助嘴说话。如果不是开会，我也不会认出他来，其他人也不会认出他来。有一度他一人站在海边，像是在思索，像是一个普通人在海边在憧憬，没来得急拍照，要不然就有一张Paul Allen on the beach的照片了，像是Phil Philip Glass的Einstein on beach
dea Man: A Memoir by the Cofounder of Microsoft is a memoir by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, published in 2011 by Portfolio, a Penguin Group imprint. A New York Times Best Seller, the book recounts how Allen became enamored with computers at an early age, conceived the idea for Microsoft, recruited his friend Bill Gates to join him, and launched what would become the world's most successful software company.
The book, reveals the often conflicted partnership between Allen and Gates, and how—when Allen was recovering from cancer—Gates unsuccessfully conspired to dilute Allen's 36 percent share of Microsoft. Idea Man also explores Allen's business and creative ventures following his 1983 departure from Microsoft, including his involvement in SpaceShipOne, his purchase of the Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Seahawks, his passion for music, and his ongoing support for scientific research.
Reviews
The Guardian: “There's an important lesson here that has subsequently been airbrushed out of the Microsoft legend: Allen's contributions to the partnership were as critical as Gates's. Without the tools that he developed, and his insight into the infrastructure that software development requires, Microsoft's subsequent growth would have been impossible.”[1]
Kirkus Reviews: ..."surprisingly profound and refreshingly frank."[2]

说到微软，谁都知道Bill Gates. 但是Paul Allen是微软的另一个创始人，这点大概鲜为人知，正像Steve Wolzniak于apple那样。

实际上创微软是他的原意，是他带的盖茨。他得了两次癌症，都治愈了。最后还是不幸。
