Macworld Boston 1997full Version







By request, here is the full version of the 1997 Boston Macworld expo where we see Steve Jobs for the first time since returning to work for Apple after being gone since 1985. This was a very historic time for Apple because they were almost bankrupt at the time, so Steve announces a temporary partnership with Microsoft to a very hostile crowd. Bill Gates also makes an appearance.

  17. @jebug29 I read in the Steve Jobs biography that Bill actually couldn't hear the audience in that situation, nor did he know he would be projected as such a big picture / big brother type of view.
