they MSFT, bought a millions of shares @ $13.00/share. (circa (I don't have my books with me... but if memory serves me right, it was around 1990 - 2000 ish. sort've. MSFT they had an alright return on their investment.
The deal was MSFT would support Apple & basically gave Apple the MS Office Suite of programs.
Because Apple was so deeply embedded in education, the gift of the MS Office Suite saved their bacon.
MSFT, in fact saved Apple. Would they do it today, knowing what a formidable competitor Apple would become? Probably not.
But, there are no time travelers here.
MSFT, they ain't poor, in fact they gave Steve Jobs a lifeline.
A lifeline, in which all of us can appreciate. Steve changed the world in 2000 (ipod, itunes, iphone, itablet) etc much like Bill did 20 years earlier.
Bill brought us computer interface
Steve brought us so much more.
And so here we are... who is the next savior? Anybody know? 'cause we can make a lot of money... |
