Finally, a book that helps a non-techie like me make sense of all these names and companies I've been reading about for all these years. A fun book, entertaining and a real education to boot. And Bill Gates--what a piece of work he is! Greed and more greed--as the author shows, though Gates claims it's not about the money, it most certainly is. A pretty ruthless lot of people, driven by ego and too much testerone.
A funny and clever book that wove together an impressive array of tales and character sketches. I'm not usually a non-fiction fan, but I'd recommend this book to anyone who want to be an entrepreneur and want to run a company.

Interesting insight to the the rise of the computer/software age. Probably appreciated more by those of us you can remember using Wordstar on a 527k computer,
