It's amusing that literally 20 years ago, Apple was a bit cash-strapped and got a $150m investment from Microsoft...

Charlie Munger had something to say about that.

I'm headed to the Berkshire shareholder meeting for the first time in May, super excited to listen to Warren and Charlie impart their wealth of knowledge.

I have not seen this video of Charlie Munger, thanks for sharing. Watching all the parts now.

One could make the argument that without apple, M$ wouldn't have achieved as much.

Less competitors, less focus on initiatives and innovation.

You could argue that part of the reason that Apple hasn't been that innovative the last few years. There's no one company really doing any amazing in their bread/butter of smartphones.
