About this title

Review:

This is a "facts ma'am, nothing but the facts" examination of how Microsoft works, both internally, and in the marketplace. Unlike the raft of gossipy Bill-bios or sardonic and shrill pro- or anti-screeds, this book is focused clearly (if sometimes ploddingly) on one central question: the relationship between business strategies and software development. And, since Microsoft is increasingly focused on the Internet, it is essential reading not just for software companies, but for all Internet companies as well.
