I never said Bill owned Apple, I never said MS owned 10%, I said they gave them a bunch of money, which they did. There is no myth there. Try not to ass-u-me, stick with what I said not what you wish I said.

How about YOU do the same. I never said you wrote those things. I said:

To this day you see reports that "Microsoft bought 10% of Apple" and that "Bill Gates owns Apple" and that "Apple was about to declare bankruptcy when MS saved them."

Microsoft did indeed transfer to Apple a bunch of money but it was in exchange for Apple dropping a lawsuit... which I have proved conclusively. I posted just a small portion of the evidence to establish what actually happened. . . and it is NOT what you believe it was. The claims that Microsoft did it to "bail Apple out" or "that MS saved Apple" is just as much of a myth as those are. Microsoft blinked. Accept it.

MS didn’t blink, MS turned a profit on the settlement, you yourself admitted that. That’s not blinking.
