And why was he arrested, and why is he so happy about it?

A police mug shot of Gates from a 1977 arrest for bad driving appears on the cover of the September issue of Brill's Content magazine. The photo shows a nerdy-looking Gates with his boyish smile, tinted glasses and shaggy hair nearly covering his ears.
The photo has drawn attention to a driving record that includes two arrests in New Mexico in the 1970s and one in California in 1989.
The 42-year-old Microsoft chairman said he was 21 when the photo was taken.
Gates was arrested in 1975 for speeding and driving without a license and in 1977 for running a stop sign and driving without a license, Albuquerque police said. He was arrested again in 1989 in California on suspicion of drunken driving, a charge that was later reduced.
Gates first saw it when representatives of the city of Albuquerque asked if they could release it to Brill's Content, which had requested it, said Dean Katz, a Microsoft spokesman.
Gates showed the photo at a speech in May in what Brill's Content said was some pre-emptive damage control by the computer billionaire.

William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is the co-founder, chairman, former chief software architect, and former CEO of Microsoft Corporation. He is also the founder of Corbis, a digital image archiving company. Forbes magazine's The World's Billionaires list has ranked him as the richest person in the world for the last twelve consecutive years. In 1999, Gates' wealth briefly surpassed $100 billion making him America's first centibillionaire.[3] According to the Forbes 2004 magazine, Bill Gates's net worth was approximately $46.6 billion. When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Walton family.[4][5]
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. He is widely respected for his foresight and ambition.[6][7] He is also frequently criticized as having built Microsoft through unfair or unlawful business practices. Since amassing his fortune, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money (about 52% of his total fortune) to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, founded in 2000. In June 2006 he announced that he would move to a part-time role with Microsoft (namely surrendering the power of managing day-to-day operations) in 2008 to begin a career in philanthropy, but will remain as chairman.
Bill Gates, his wife Melinda and U2's lead singer Bono were collectively named by Time as the 2005 Persons of the Year for their humanitarian efforts. That same year he was made an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II, which would entitle him to be known as Sir William Gates if he were a citizen of Britain or the Commonwealth. In 2006, Gates Foundation was awarded the Premio Príncipe de Asturias en Cooperación Internacional. In a list compiled by the magazine New Statesman in 2006, he was voted eighth in the list of "Heroes of our time".[8]
