entering into partnership with Microsoft. Included in this was a five-year commitment from
Microsoft to release Microsoft Office for
Macintosh as well a US$150 million investment in Apple. It was also announced
that Internet Explorer would be
shipped as the default browser on the Macintosh.
Steve Jobs said this to
the audience at the expo:
If we want to move forward and see Apple healthy
and prospering again, we have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go
of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. We have to embrace
a notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job. And if
others are going to help us that's great, because we need all the help we can
get, and if we screw up and we don't do a good job, it's not somebody else's
fault, it's our fault. So I think that is a very important perspective. If we
want Microsoft Office on the Mac, we better treat the company that puts it out
with a little bit of gratitude; we like their software.
So,
the era of setting this up as a competition between Apple and Microsoft is over
as far as I'm concerned. This is about getting Apple healthy, this is about
Apple being able to make incredibly great contributions to the industry and to
get healthy and prosper again.
