Title: Pass it up. There are less partial books available
Review: Stross was given access to Microsoft employees and resources while working on this book. He repays the favor by being the official Microsoft apologist. If Stross had some technical knowledge (rather than being a historian) he might have been capable of reaching some independent judgments. As it is, he merely parrots the Microsoft line at every point. He even repeats the ludicrous claim that Microsoft is not a monopoly. The two products Stross follows at length, Encarta and Money are not very important. If he had at least researched NT, there might have been one good reason to read this very one-sided book. Purchasers have the right to expect better from authors.
