	More accurately: he has not administered his own computer for more  
than that amount of time. I am sure that there are a couple of people  
employed by Microsoft who are dedicated to maintaining the suite of  
machines used by top Microsoft execs. I would bet that these people  
are paid a lot of money to make sure that those execs never encounter  
a problem, or have to run an update.
	And if that team does not also cover the home computers, there is  
probably another team there. In fact from what I have heard about  
Bill Gates's mansion, there is probably a large technical staff there  
doing repairs, development on, and upgrades of the computers  
scattered throughout and embedded in that home.
