Are you for real?
I'm not aware of any significant ownership. Microsoft did
contribute money to Apple to help bail them out (probably to
keep "some" competition to help in anti-trust) during a financial
crisis. Microsoft also makes money off sales of office.


Let's do the math, MS bought $150 million in non-voting stock.
Apple had over $4 billion in cash reserves. How is investing
3.75% of a companies value "bailing them out?
