It's funny that the first viruses were on a Mac. The first one was called Scores because it would change the scores in games you played. It came from Venezuela. Me and several other have reason to believe Microsoft wrote and distributed it. The second one was WDEF and all it did was spread itself around, it added itself to the disk catalog definitions. About that time Mac did a major overhaul to the OS and went to 32 bit. None of the virus made would run and they made it very difficult to program viruses. They put out a huge bounty and still nobody was able to hack a Mac. My friend that worked at Apple told me it was possible to write a virus, but the people that could were too busy making money to mess with writing virus'.

Microsoft didn't write Power Point. It was originally Aldus Persuiasion. Then Adobe bought it to get Pagemaker from Aldus, then Microsoft bought Persuasion from Adobe. In fact, they didn't even change the program except for the splash screen for several years.

The only thing Microsoft actual wrote was Word, Excel (then called Multiplan), and a database called File. The Apple commissioned them to write for the Mac. And the programming information they got is what they used to start Windows. That's why Apple sued Microsoft and won.

The reason Apple almost went under is because they chased Steve off and the idiot they put in charge John Scully was an executive from Coke and was the one that run the company into the ground.

I am curious to see how the company does without Jobs. The latest Macbook Pros then just announced shows they are starting to do some STUPID stuff. The new laptops only have USB-C ports. No USB, No Firewire, No Thunderbolt and no SD Card. You gotta use dongles to plug any older stuff in. Not what professionals need in a portable computer. And the new touch bar seems like a silly gimmick to me, especially since I use an external keyboard and monitor.
