You said — At least Microsoft/Gates won’t have to loan them another $100 million.

LOL... that was a settlement agreement on Microsoft and Intel stealing code from Apple (had to do with QuickTime code). That’s how they ended up settling the whole thing. I also understand that Microsoft had to pay out a lot of money “behind the scenes” on that one... :-)

I know.
At least Microsoft’s use of Apple code allowed Apple to keep the doors open. Shame Apple couldn’t turn a profit on its own product.

Maybe Apple should countract Microsoft for other revenue projects as well?
