> How old are you? Let me just guess; not old enough to have experienced living/working in tech while Bill was doing his thing

Please no ad hominem attacks, focus on what I said, not how old I am.

But if it matters to you, I wrote my first lines of code in 1979 on an Apple ][ and I've lived through the exact same times you did.

I find little point in speculating on what could have happened that didn't, I focus on reality and what people have actually achieved in their life time.

It wasn't an attack (heck, wtf, I was just asking your age, maybe stop over-dramatizing?); I was trying to find out if you had some sort of personal experience or was just parroting the newer reddit hivemind.

What you did is the text book definition of an ad hominem attack: undermining someone's argument by attacking their character instead of addressing what they said.

Today I learned: Asking someone their age is equivalent to doing an ad hominem attack.

> How old are you?

Is fine.

> How old are you? Let me just guess; not old enough to have experienced living/working in tech while Bill was doing his thing

Is an ad hominem attack.

How about this for an attack? What is your current connection to the Microsoft ecosystem?

None besides occasionally using a Windows laptop.

I know you're struggling to find hidden reasons that could lead someone to not despise Bill Gates, but you're wasting your time.

The man is saving millions of lives with his fortune, just deal with it and the reality that he might not be as evil as you want him to be.
