Title: Difficult Read
Review: This isn't a patch on Hard Drive. Whereas Hard Drive was one of the best reads I've had, Overdrive is neither objective or intesting.It seems apparent that Hard Drive benefited substantially from having Jim Erickson as one of the authors.Overdrive is written by James Wallace alone. And it shows. His biased negative opinion of Microsoft shows through.Wallace is also not a very good writer.For example, when writing about the actions undertaken by the Justice Department to investigate Microsoft, Wallace documents boring details about which lawyers were involved, what their backgrounds were, etc., and he stretches this section out until it is completely out of place in this book.This is a difficult read because of the bias and poor writing ability of Wallace.<P
