" I borrowed this book from someone and then went and bought myself a copy. It is not so much an insight into the mind of Bill Gates, but the impact of technology on society the future. It gave me a an entirely new perspective on the role of IT in business and the society. "
" Where is my copy of this book? Gotta find it... hehehe "
" This book written in 1980's truly gives the vision Bill Gates had what it takes to be ahead and on the top of the things required to be successful in the IT world of business. "
" Would be good if the year was 2001... "
" Speed is the 2000's trend in business "
" most prolific, ahead of its time!! "
" Nowadays only really interested me in a historical sense of seeing what Gates guessed right and what he missed. "
" It's a great book (full disclosure: written by my future employer), but the only reason I gave it 3 stars is that it's something that was relevant a decade ago. However, it is cool to read books written a while ago and see how accurate it was based on what I know today. "
" amazing if you read this now how technology that was mentioned back when, has now become the norm "
" Exhaustive, more of a manual to keep and refer to. "
" I remember this being full of sage business stuff. Bill Gates computes... "
" Microsoft's vision of a digital world. Can see it manifesting in its products "
" Words from the Messiah on business Microsoft & making money from a can do guy. Imagine him running a country. The man they had to make step down as CEO of Microsoft or he probably would be running the country. "
" Surprisingly bad book from perhaps the most brilliant business genius alive today. Bill Gates was my hero as a child, I wish he wrote something better "
" Couldn't finish it... every page was an ad for a Micro$oft product -- yuck! "
" Read this a long time ago and looking at it now, the book has lost much of its shelf life as it dealt with Y2K issues and a lot of business 101 concepts. I know Bill can do better. "
" Although the book is outdated now, but it still has some valid thoughts and interesting points about how Bill Gates did the business. "
" Dated. Be more interesting to read about his non-profit achievements since leaving Microsoft. "
" makin/usin p.c as part of our daily life "
" An optional-read autobiograpy on leadership for knowledge workers, managers, directors, C-levels, and entrepreneurs. "
