- justherefortart 9y agoAmazing book that goes up to 1994 or so is Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the microsoft Empire. It's writing and editing certainly leave a lot to be desired but from a historical standpoint about Microsoft, it's a fantastic read.
- scholia 9y agoGates by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews is a much better book. Bigger, better researched, better written, and a lot more accurate. (Paul Andrews worked for the Seattle Times and Microsoft was his beat. I guess he just had more and better contacts.) Hard Drive did well because it came out first and filled a big hole in the market. However, Gates was sufficiently better to become a best seller.
