Let us look into the history of their uncertain relationship of more than 30 years;
When Microsoft and Apple were working together
Microsoft made software for the mega-popular Apple II PC and Gates would regularly fly down to Cupertino to check on Apple. Gates was not particularly impressed with Jobs' attitude when in the early ‘80s, Jobs went to sell Gates on the possibility of making Microsoft software for the Apple Macintosh computer with its revolutionary graphical interface. Nevertheless, Gates appeared alongside Jobs in 1983 video screened for Apple employees ahead of the Macintosh’s launch.
“It really captures people’s imagination” - Gates complimented Mac

Both worked together for the first few years of the Macintosh.
Fall of the relationship
Their relationship fell apart in 1985 when Windows announced its first version. Jobs accused Gates and Microsoft of ripping off the Macintosh. But Gates did not care. When Jobs accused Gates of stealing the idea, he responded “Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."
