Saving Apple was a "crazy" move by Microsoft

Steve Ballmer Apple investmentSteve Ballmer, the former CEO of the company Microsoft, he spoke in a recent interview Bloomberg about one of the "craziest" things done by the company he co-founded many years ago.

More specifically, Steve Ballmer talks about the investment made by the company Microsoft in Apple in 1997 to save those from Cupertino from bankruptcy, Steve Jobs convincing Bill Gates to help him save the company with which he once had an important collaboration.

At that time, very few people saw with good eyes the investment made by Microsoft in the Apple company because they were competitors from many points of view and helping a competitor is contrary to any rules of modern business, but in Sillicon Valley anything is possible .

Looking back, Steve Ballmer says that that decision was one of the craziest decisions made by the company he led at one time, with Apple now worth much more than Microsoft and generating much more revenue/profit bigger than Steve Jobs or Bill Gates would have imagined in 1997.
