It’s not only looking for the negative. It didn’t happen.

Whatever the reason, MS only infused $150 million into Apple’s coffers.

Apple turned around and used $100 million to buy PowerComputing’s Mac license. Apple also continued to lose money for 3 years. The Net $50 million didn’t “save Apple”.

I hadn't heard that bit of history, found it interesting. Though apparently they spent $10mm in cash and $90mm in stock to acquire the company.
