This is the story of Microsoft(R) and how it rose to become the
first monopoly of the information Age. The text is assembled from
Ted Lewis's columns published in "IEEE Computer" (1994-1998), "IEEE
Internet Computing," and "Scientific American," "Microsoft Rising"
is a tale of great, emotion, and techno-marketing hype in one of
the fastest growing, mainline industries of the world. It is an eye
witness account to the changing computer industry and the story of
Silicon Valley and how it works, a revisionist history of
computing, circa 1990-2000. "Microsoft Rising" is ultimately about
Microsoft's domination of the computer industry.
This book reports the author's personal history through the
early 1990's to the end of the decade. These stories often try to
predict or explain the chaos of Silicon Valley. Lewis analyzes the
industry and shows how high-technology industry is constantly
changing in turmoil and upheaval. He also examines the art of
software development and deals with innovation and the emergence of
techno-society. The book does not promise any answers, but rather
concludes this short journey into the recent past with a number of
provoking ideas about the future of hi-tech.
