The Making of Microsoft : How Bill Gates and His Team Created the World's Most Successful Software Company

Rating:
Summary: Excellent reading about Microsoft's early culture
Review: I've read this book 3 times already in the past years. One of the authors is european, and the books gives real insight on the first era of Microsoft. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed. The technical level required to read this is close to zero. It's a great story.

Summary: a stitch in time
Review: This book is easy to understand. It gives a view of what happened at a critical time with a new technology. (1980 - 1990) It has a timeline and explains all those acronyms you hear but never knew what they were. Here a man was clearly building an empire and it was not simple or easy. You can see how just a small thing affected all our lives. It continues today.
