Did you see this line ?
Technically, Microsoft didn’t fire Hanscom. The 30-year-old has worked for a temp firm, Todays Staffing, since he moved to Seattle from Anchorage in the summer of 2001 — mostly on contracts for Xerox, which runs
My experience has been companies are less lenient with temps. If they don't like someone they just have to call the agency and tell them to send someone else.

Yeah, I saw that, but I didn't know that MS wrote software for Apple. "Though Microsoft remains a target of derision for many Mac users, the company remains a major producer of software for Apple systems" Guess you learn something new everyday.

They actually started writing software for Apple before they put out MS-DOS/PC-DOS for IBM. Applesoft BASIC was Microsoft software -- a replacement for Integer BASIC, which Woz wrote.
