In 1971 in Berkeley, a commotion happened in the campus of University of California. Steve Jobs was with Steve Wozniak at that time. On the other hand, William Henry "Bill" Gates was with Steve Ballmer and Paul Allen.With is intelligence and perseverance, Bill Gates made a home computer with a keyboard for typing.
In 1976, they sold 50 computers. Then in 1977, Microsoft had its first office in Albuquerque. On the same year, a computer fair was held in San Francisco, he met Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple computers). The two are in rivalry in terms of computer sales and programs. Apple had been successful and they've had a famous name that time. The first computer was named "The Lisa". The name "Lisa" was named after Steve Job's daughter. The Lisa was then followed in 1984 by Macintosh which was inspired by Xerox Alto.
In 1985, during a birthday toast to Steve Jobs, the chief executive officer of Apple, John Sculley later fired Steve Jobs after 3 months. When Apple had a crisis, Microsoft bought $150 million shares of stock
in Apple. So Bill Gates has a share of stock in Apple Inc.However, Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and worked again.
