Woz.org Letter Summary: Letter Sept 16

The letter asks what does Steve Wozniak thinks about the Microsoft-Apple deal. Wozniak replies that the deal was “artificial and mostly in words.”. Wozniak says that Microsoft is really helping Apple, and Apple isn’t really praising Microsoft. The part where Microsoft purchased $125 million worth of stock from Apple, according to Wozniak, was “The portrayal of Bill Gates was to help get confidence back into Apple as an ongoing company.”.
