That Time Microsoft Saved Apple

Hah, I don't often post things like this, but Gizmodo just had a great article reminding us of that time that Microsoft saved Apple. Back in the day, there was a patent fued from Apple, against Microsoft, who had decided that MS had used too much of their 'design' in Windows. As Apple had been in a financial mess, Apple actually had to bend over and apple MS to invest $150 million to keep it afloat. From this, MS got an amazing deal!

Jobs really does deliver the whole thing tongue-in-cheek and the crowd plays along well. The video, from start to end, is a perfect summation of the entire scenario back when Jobs had just re-taken the throne.
