Not true. He was at Oracle around 1992 where he worked on "druid" user interface builder, then he went to NeXT where we worked on WebObjects then he went to Ariba where he was CTO, then to Apple. (Source: I worked alongside him in the early 90's.)
Wil Shipley had a pretty good write up of Craig's Apple history, going back to meeting him at NeXT. Obviously it's just Wil's opinions, but an interesting read nonetheless.
