The average lifespan of early PCs has nothing to do with Bill Gates or Microsoft and all to do with the early giant steps in the advancements of technology.
No but it sure as hell gave him a ton of money and hundreds of billions over the past few decades for MS to invest in new products.
Richest companies are ones where people need you and keep coming back over and over again such as Gillette, Chevron, McDonalds, etc. MS of today might be different as businesses and working professionals still need MS office and Windows to get the job done but not like in the past during the reign of Gates where it kept going obsolete over and over and he got a cut for each upgrade for Office and the OS.
