Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have had many business dealings dating back to the 1977 release of the AppleSoft BASIC programming language. The name came from joining "Apple" and "Microsoft." Gates went on to program for the early Mac computers which led to disputes about how much of the Mac's features were "borrowed" by Windows.

∙ 15y agoNo way! Steve Jobs was at Reed College for a while, sleeping in various friends' dorm rooms. Bill Gates was at Harvard, most likely sharing a room with Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer. ...I recommend watching Pirates of Silicon Valley. Docu-drama, but very interesting.

∙ 13y agoSteve Jobs and Bill Gates never worked as partners. In the early days of Apple they hired Microsoft to produce a BASIC programming language interpreter for them - this was known as AppleSoft BASIC combining the names of both companies. Microsoft continued to work for Apple in the early 1980s developing software for the unreleased Macintosh computer; Microsoft's Word, for example, first appeared on the Mac. Apple licensed some aspects of the Mac's system to Microsoft which they used as the basis for their Windows operating system. After Microsoft started using more ideas from the Mac then they were licensed to do, and then incorporated code from QuickTime into their own media player, there was a long running legal dispute between the two companies.

While Steve was alive, their relationship was described as "friendship but rival".
Basically they respected each other but, of course, they always tried to out-do each other on the technology market.
Steve Jobs kept a compassionate, friendly letter from Bill Gates beside him on his deathbed, implying they did have a friendship.

∙ 12y agoYes, Bill Gates did some software coding for Apple in the early days. Apple and Microsoft have maintained a working relation throughout the years.
