"Capers Jones' work offers a unique contribution to the understanding of
the economics of software production. It provides deep insights into why
our advances in computing are not matched with corresponding improvements
in the software that drives it. This book is absolutely required reading
for an understanding of the limitations of our technological advances."
--Paul A. Strassmann, former CIO of Xerox, the Department of Defense, and
NASA
