Eh, Steve Jobs didn't steal his product. Steve Wozniak created it, and Jobs marketed it. Jobs bought the mouse technology from Xerox, who didn't understand the value of what they had. Jobs pushed for quality on-screen typography, and pioneered the windows based interface. I think you might be thinking of Bill Gates, who stole the Windows interface from Jobs. Apple was a truly pioneering company, which is why so many investors were interested in this company run by a few college kids out of their garage.
