What feature put bill gates microsoft product in direct competition with steve jobs and apple?

the Macintosh or Mac

Explanation:it was a computer but better and it also brought them together for a short moment

The correct answer is the software that they produced for PC´s. Both companies began developing OS software that were very much alike. Initially, Apple did not design, or create, these softwares, and much less the interfaces with graphics. But it soon became an issue between the two companies that had once shared almost a common goal.

Explanation:

The entire love-hate relationship between Bill Gates´ Microsoft and Steve Jobs´ Apple began in the 70´s, during the PC initial era, and then the first love part came in the 80´s when Jobs developed the first Macintosh and Gates did the same for the software for it. The two companies seemed to be seeing eye to eye, and Microsoft had its objectives set on earning their share from the sales of Macintosh. However, this changed rapidly after 1983, when Jobs himself began to also develop software. At that point, the Apple software and the Windows 1.0, took off in different directions and the two companies began to compete furiously with one another. In fact, at some point, Jobs accused Gates of having created the Windows 1.0 program from stolen ideas.

on this day in 1939, in response to hitler’s invasion of poland, britain and france, both allies of the overrun nation declare war on germany.

the first casualty of that declaration was not german—but the british ocean liner athenia, which was sunk by a german u-30 submarine that had assumed the liner was armed and belligerent. there were more than 1,100 passengers on board, 112 of whom lost their lives. of those, 28 were americans, but president roosevelt was unfazed by the tragedy, declaring that no one was to “thoughtlessly or falsely talk of america sending its armies to european fields.” the united states would remain neutral.

as for britain’s response, it was initially no more than the dropping of anti-nazi propaganda leaflets—13 tons of them—over germany. they would begin bombing german ships on september 4, suffering significant losses. they were also working under orders not to harm german civilians. the german military, of course, had no such restrictions. france would begin an offensive against germany’s western border two weeks later. their effort was weakened by a narrow 90-mile window leading to the german front, enclosed by the borders of luxembourg and belgium—both neutral countries. the germans mined the passage, stalling the french offensive.

hitler was elected as a strong leader by germans who felt angry following the treaty of versailles.
