I loathe his business practises (albeit less evil than Apple's...), but the rest of his life seems admirable. He certainly stands well above such other tech billionaires as Jobs and Ellison.
In person, however, Steve Jobs was apparently a tremendous jerk (he often parked in handicapped spots, to name just one small but telling example), whereas Bill Gates seems to be a pretty decent fellow.
Had Apple had the marketshare of Microsoft, I'm sure they were just as Evil, if not more.
There's a reason the FSF blacklisted Apple, but not Microsoft, for many years.

There's no need to get ageist with your buildings. Yes, Europe has old buildings. That doesn't detract from the fact that buildings in North America, even if they're fewer than 100 years old, can be considered "historic".
Though I am well aware of family residences to which I've some association on other continents approaching 500 years in age.
History and longevity are also not universally revered: in Japan the tradition is to destroy and rebuild temples frequently (every 20 years in the case of the shrines at Naikū and Gekū).
Jobs was a right bastard. Ask anyone who worked with him.
