Gates to Sculley

Friday, October 24, 1997 by Dave Winer.

In 1985, Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, sent a four-page memo to John Sculley, CEO of Apple Computer, outlining a business plan for licensing the Macintosh OS.

Earlier today we received that memo in a Fedex from Microsoft's PR firm, Waggener Edstrom.

Scripting News is the first website to carry this letter. The letter also appears in a book by Jim Carlton about Apple, and in the current issue of Wired.
