While Apple and MS have competed they're in slightly separate orthaganol spaces and cooperated initially. MS made basic for the apple 2, and office products for the original mac. I think there was some griping that MS made more for each mac sold initially than Apple did (because of the software). Steve and Bill came to a mutually beneficial agreement in the late 90s when Steve came back to a "Beleagured" apple.

MS keep a competitor afloat for anti-trust reasons. https://www.engadget.com/2014-05-20-what-ever-became-of-microsofts-150-million-investment-in-apple.html https://www.engadget.com/2014-05-20-what-ever-became-of-micr...
