Total nerd... I assure you, it's purely genetic
Bill Gates dies and is escorted to Heaven's doorstep. God appears before him in a blaze of whatever deities appear before people in and says,
"Since you were such an influential person in life, I'll give you the choice to influence My judgment of you. Specifically, you get to choose whether you want to go to Heaven or Hell."

Bill is, of course, a little taken aback, but like every good businessman wants to consider his options.
"Is there any way I can see a demo version of both before choosing?" he says.
"There certainly is," says God. "You can tour Heaven for a day, after which my colleague down below will show you around his realm for a day."

So, no sooner said than done; Bill Gates is escorted into Heaven and to be honest isn't entirely impressed with what he sees. Jesus runs Windows XP, all the angels are very friendly and everything is very neat and tidy, as is becoming of Paradise, but it lacks that extra spark. After the day has passed, Bill thanks God and departs for Hell.

Satan welcomes him and leads him through a magnificent palace; the souls of the damned are positively grovelling at his feet, everything is spectacularly constructed of the most precious materials, and everyone is connected to a multi-terabyte wireless network with only the best and most cutting-edge machines; his choice is easily made by the end of the day.

He returns to the Pearly Gates and informs God of his decision; God shrugs, pulls a lever and Gates is plunged into a pit of fire, brimstone, eternal pain and suffering and all that bad stuff. Satan appears before him and Bill cries out,
"I don't understand, what happened to the beautiful place I saw before?"

Satan smiles and says,
"Then, you were a visitor. Now, you're staff."

Shoot me now...
