Question 6. Mac vs. Windows: The last round?
In the summer of 1997, Steve Jobs took the stage at the Macworld Expo Boston keynote and told the crowd that Apple was down but not beaten. During part of the address, Jobs warned that Apple must work better with its partners. To cat-calls and boos from the audience, he said that Apple and Microsoft were burying the hatchet. Microsoft and Windows 95 had won.
Bill Gates then appeared on a screen above the stage, exchanged greetings with Jobs and pledged support for the Macintosh platform, including future versions of the classic Mac operating system as well as the nascent, Mach-based Rhapsody OS that would become Mac OS X.
