Apple went into serious trouble
By the late ‘90s, Apple was in serious financial trouble. The company asked Jobs to return to Apple and after some inner strife, he went back in 1996. However, it wasn’t enough to keep the company afloat. In 1997, at Jobs' first Macworld keynote, he announced a new partnership with Gates and Microsoft in order to save Apple.
“Gates made the world a better place” -Jobs thanked Gates

Despite this, they still remained critical of each other’s work. Even when Gates stepped down from Microsoft in 2000, Jobs called the company ‘almost irrelevant’. And the series of commenting never stopped, though Gates was actually pretty complimentary of Jobs’ innovations at Apple.
In a bizarre manner, both icons evidently respected each other. In 2007, Jobs and Gates appeared on stage together at the All Things Digital conference where Gates said, “I’d give a lot to have Steve’s taste.”
Jobs also admired Gates, "I admire him for the company he built — it’s impressive — and I enjoyed working with him. He’s bright and actually has a good sense of humour."
