Did a quick scan of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_acquired_by_Microsoft_Corporation
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer
Nothing to suggest this. Also a quick Web search brought up nothing relevant.
I think this would seem odd because of conflicting interests. On the one
hand, Microsoft benefits from Apple's success, but at the same time it's
leading to a loss. It's like playing tennis against a wall (yourself).
