Jobs never bought anything from Xerox. How do we know this? Xerox filed a lawsuit against Apple in 1988 -- after seeing that Apple was suing Microsoft and others left and right for what was essentially derivative work based on Xerox's. Xerox feared that Apple was scaring off potential licensees with their on-going UI patents lawsuits. Their lawsuit however never went nowhere and dismissed on procedural matters. Xerox had a division that invested in tech companies like Apple in the late 70's. I believe Xerox had something to the tune of $1M in Apple, but contrary to popular belief, Apple never traded their pre-IPO stocks in exchange for two visits at Xerox PARC. Xerox PARC was actually open-house and at least several thousand people went to see their demo throughout the 70's. Jef Raskin, who had spent sometime at Stanford and intimately close to research and dvelopment done at PARC urged Apple engineers and Jobs to see what they ought to be doing.
