    I’m aware of the history, but I don’t think you understood what I wrote. An app store was written for NeXT by an independent company, without Jobs’ involvement.

    Would you give credit to Bill Gates for all windows software written while he was CEO?

      Sorry the “that jobs knew about” made it seem like apple stole it from NeXT. I was just saying that of course he knew about. It was a company he started and ran because he was mad at Pepsi.

      My point was just that NeXT having something is just like apple having something in my opinion.

        Mad at Pepsi? Haha that’s a funny way to put it. He got fired when he butted heads with Sculley, the former PepsiCo president, that he had hired, and the board sided with Sculley.

        Giving credit to Apple/NeXT for software made by a different company is creative. The same logic applied to Microsoft makes things interesting.
