| This might be an urban legend but of course it seems believable and is repeated often enough in OSX+intel discussions. MS invested some US$300M in Apple in the late '90s, when Apple really needed the cash to keep going. It was viewed by many as MS making sure they had a competitor to point to in any antitrust/monopoly cases against them. The rumor is that a condition of the investment was a non-compete clause on the intel platform. If true that's more evidence of their anticompetitive, anticooperative business practices. | ||
