Apple v. Microsoft and HP, round 2

Remember Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation? That case was a big deal back in 1994. The Mac OS and Windows were still in their infancy, and Apple lost decisively, with a Federal appellate court deciding that Microsoft had not infringed on Apple’s copyrighted “look and feel” of the Mac OS.

It was probably the single darkest hour in Apple’s history. Two years later, Steve Jobs returned to Apple, and a year after that Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple to keep it from going under.
