Steve Jobs came up with the MAC OS after looking at a Xerox division which originally 'invented' the GUI ( Graphical User Interface) operating system. Bill Gates stole it from Apple after Apple had stolen it from Xerox. Steve Jobs was greedy, wanted to go after the hardware AND software end, things could have been much different. Bill Gates got the MAC OS system to Microsoft by promising software to develop software for Mac ( Excel originally for MAC).

Check out the TBS movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley"- excellent movie about Microsoft's and Apple's early days.
