That was my point -- without the antitrust injunction, Microsoft would not have invested in Apple. Ergo, Apple owes its existence today to the injunction.

The article I linked never mentioned the injunction. Apple was suing Microsoft, and the investment by MS was part of how Steve Jobs offered to settle the matter.
