Given his age, being that he was 65 when he created TNG, I don't see him working on any Star Trek series after that. I think most of TNG and VOY (except for a few episodes) and most seasons of ENT stay the same. DS9, the third season of ENT, and the TNG Movies, on the other hand, would be very different. Not because he'd be working on them, but because Rick Berman would feel the weight of Gene Roddenberry watching over him. In this reality, Ira Steven Behr could very well have been fired.I sometimes wonder how Star Trek would have evolved if Roddenberry he had lived another fifteen years and been healthy that entire time. I bet things would have been a lot different.
Generations would be completely unrecognizable. Kirk would not appear, the Enterprise-D wouldn't be destroyed, and Picard's family wouldn't be killed off. It would be a different film. First Contact wouldn't deconstruct Evolved Humanity, at least not so thoroughly. Insurrection and Nemesis wouldn't be so action-packed.
EDITED TO ADD: Data wouldn't have been killed off in Nemesis which, in turn, sends the first season of Picard on a completely different trajectory. In fact, Picard might not exist as a series because the things that left such a sour taste in the audience's mouth back in 2002 wouldn't have been allowed to happen. I'm of the firm belief that the only reason PIC exists at all is because the TNG Movies didn't end in a way that satisfied the audience. Though I still think NEM would've flopped no matter what, with a better story or not, because the Cinematic Landscape changed too much during the Turn of the Milennium. (I wish it would change that drastically again today, but that's a whole other story... )
