	In Response To: Re: They did, at least. (Mark Levin) From a post in the MacAddict Forums: "This was back in 1997... M$ invested $150,000,000 in non-voting stock to settle a long standing "battle" between the two companies. Basically it was an out of court settlement to settle the whole "MS stole the GUI interface from Apple" issue that went on for years. With this investment, M$ pretty much admitted it stole the GUI from Apple... they settled so Apple wouldnt take this public (well, any more public than it already was). As a result of this settlement: M$ agreed to invest $150,000,000 in non-voting stock (meaning they had no say whatsoever with what went on at Apple) M$ agreed to continue development of software for the Mac (Office/IE/WMP) Apple agreed to bundle IE as the default web browser on all its new systems But that deal is off now... M$ no longer owns these non-voting stocks, and they no longer have to develop software for the Mac... this is most likely why we are seeing iLife/Safari/Final Cut Express/Keynote... Apple is doing all they can to finally dump the ball and chain that is M$. " Read the whole topic here: http://macaddict.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3982
