Bill Gates is 55. Microsoft was founded 35 years ago.

You're really going to hold it against him that he isn't still a dynamo of ideas and innovation?

I'm not holding it against him: I'm just questioning the statement. The Gates foundation is great, but its not innovative: Rockefeller/Carnegie/etc did similar things in their time. And I have no clue what Micheal Dell has done in the last decade that is noteworthy. So to all the folks voting my comment down: in the last 10 years what about the things Bill Gates and Micheal Dell have done is innovative?
Microsoft was founded in 1975, over 36 years ago.
You're right, math fail. Thanks.
