... apple bail out ...
That wasn't a bailout... although many who are uninformed have perpetrated that myth. What it was -- was Intel and Microsoft getting caught for taking Apple's code in some of their work. That came back to bite Microsoft in the butt -- and they paid for it. That was part of the settlement deal that was worked out for how Microsoft would pay for it. I hear there was more money paid to Apple, of an undisclosed amount, to settle with Apple and also cross-licensing agreements made to finally put the settlement deal to rest -- to the satisfaction of Apple.
I'm sure Steve Jobs loved hammering Bill Gates on that one ... LOL ...
I was under the impression that in the 90’s MS made it so their Office Suite would run on an Apple.
They did it to avoid the the imminent collapse of Apple computer and to avoid the monopoly that came with that.
I really don’t know, follow or care though.
