      Gates saved Apple at one point. Granted, it was to prevent anti-trust lawsuits, but he put an influx of capital into Apple ($150 million in August ‘97) instead of making billions by selling off chunks of Microsoft. Not altruistic, but probably not motivated purely by money. This happened pretty much right after Steve Jobs had returned to Apple, and a few weeks before Jobs formally took over the CEO role in September. I don’t think it was coincidental.
