nonsense. microsoft bought 150 million dollars of nonvoting apple
stock, which was a drop in the bucket for apple at the time, who had
something like a billion dollars in *cash* (i don't remember exact
figures but that's in the ballpark).

the reason microsoft *had* to do that was because they were caught
redhanded for violating apple intellectual property and infringing on
patents. that was the out of court settlement.

it's ludicrous to think that microsoft bailed them out.
