Summary: telling...
Comment: Gates has missed the cluetrain. Microsoft is still engaging in the us against them corporate mentality, and this book reveals why. He's so focussed on the boardroom mentality that he seems to have no clue what his CUSTOMERS want. It's all about how the internet can serve the company, rather than how the company can fill the needs of the community.

Rating: 4
Summary: Business according to Chairman Bill
Comment: Business @ the Speed of Thought provides a great overview of how companies need to adjust their internal business systems to survive, adapt and embrace new technologies. The book is written in a non-technical way which makes it ideal for non IT managers. I recommend it.

Summary: Apple vs. Microsoft over the 'mouse graphics interface'.
Comment: Originally the 'mouse' belonged to 'Xerox',later Steve Jobs acquired the 'mouse' for the exclusive use by 'Apple Computer' only,which in turn gave 'Apple' the edge over their rivals like 'IBM'. With 'Apple' having the exclusive 'legal right' and 'ownership' over the 'mouse',Steve Jobs was invincible in the computer business world,and an 'Apple computer' was the thing to get. Later, Steve Jobs invited Bill Gates to 'Apple',and Bill Gates learned the inner workings of the 'mouse',in turn he adapted the 'mouse graphics interface' to his 'Microsoft Windows',and later started to peddle the 'mouse' to rivals like 'IBM','H/P','Sony','Toshiba',and etc. In turn the 'mouse graphics interface' that belonged 'solely' to 'Apple' exclusively,now also belonged to 'Apple's' rivals,by purchasing the 'Microsoft Windows' program,with a high 'payable' license fee 'paid' to a Mr. Bill Gates. Alot of computer companies can make a 'Microsoft Windows' platform,but can't use the 'mouse graphics interface' without the permission of 'Apple' or 'Microsoft Windows',without the use of the 'mouse graphics interface',you got nothing,and that's where Bill Gates has a 'monopoly' on the the 'Windows' platform. Anybody who tries to 'copy' the 'mouse graphics interface',will get their 'can' sued-off to the hilt by both 'Apple' and 'Microsoft Windows'. This is why the President of 'Apple'(at the time), John Sculley fired Steve Jobs,because Steve Jobs lost the 'mouse graphics interface' to Bill Gates,and in turn gave Bill Gates the edge over his rivals,which is 'none' to date. In plain English,Steve Jobs just fumbled the 'ball',and was intercepted by Bill Gates,the 'ball' being the 'mouse graphics interface'. Today 'Microsoft Windows' acts as 'Apples' agent and distributor for the 'mouse graphics interface',which is the sole property of 'Apple Computer',and joint partner 'Microsoft Windows'.
