History

History repeats its self .... lets move back to 1997 !



Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and the Microsoft Deal (1997)


Things changed when Steve Jobs came back at Apple in 1997. On the brink of bankruptcy, Jobs turned to his ‘old acquaintance’ Bill Gates for help.The Microsoft Deal is considered a low point in Apple’s history by many.When Steve Jobs announced that Microsoft was not the enemy anymore, few could believe their ears. He went as far as praising the quality of their Mac apps like Office and Internet Explorer… that was outrageous!Things were weird for a few years – 5 years to be exact. Which corresponds to the 5 years of the ‘Microsoft Deal’. During that period Steve Jobs only had good things to say about Redmond.
