Microsoft rising-- and other tales of Silicon Valley
"This is the story of Microsoft and how it rose to become the first monopoly of the Information Age. The text is assembled from Ted Lewis's columns published in IEEE Computer (1994-1998), IEEE Internet Computing, and Scientific American. Microsoft Rising is a tale of greed, emotion, and techno-marketing hype in one of fastest growing, mainline industries of the world. It is an eye witness account of the changing computer industry and the story of Silicon Valley and how it works, a revisionist history of computing, circa 1990-2000. Microsoft Rising is ultimately about Microsoft's domination of the computer industry."--Jacket.
