When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997, one of the first orders of business was to go on stage at MacWorld and thank Microsoft and Bill Gates for investing $150 million in the floundering computer maker, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. When Jobs announced that Apple was forming a five-year partnership with Microsoft, a series of pained groans and boos emerged from the audience. Perhaps worst of all for Jobs: He was forced to share the stage with Gates, who loomed over him in the form of a giant video screen. It looked like the lowest point for Apple, and many wondered if Jobs was the right person to save the company from bankruptcy. It turns out that Jobs was not only the right person he was also the "CEO of the Decade," according to Fortune Magazine.
