You may not agree with Microsoft's business practices but it's questionable that you would be sat here reading this today without the vision and sheer determination of one bespeckled über-geek from Seattle. Gates transformed himself from Harvard drop-out to World's Richest Man within two short decades, witnessing the death of the traditional mainframe and minicomputers and the birth of the Personal Computer (PC)." This is a really interesting look back at the where Bill thought we would be and where we have actually ended up. I have always wondered if someone would go back and score Bill on his vision. I have never read this book. It was always one of those books that you plan to read - if you get some free time, but there always seems to be a new developer text that I'm pouring over. I think I'll add this to my Amazon wishlist. How many of you have read his book, and what are you're thoughts? __________________ "I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein Mike.Temporale.com www.MobileJaw.com
