5.0 out of 5 stars The single best book for understanding the computer industry, July 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Wars:: The Fall of IBM and the Future of Global Technology (Paperback)
Computer Wars remains the single best book for understanding the computer industry, both software and hardware. When people outside the industry ask why both Netscape and Microsoft have decided to lose a barrel of money by developing WWW browsers and giving them away, give them a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great job of putting the computer industry in perspective., June 22, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Wars:: The Fall of IBM and the Future of Global Technology (Paperback)
This book details how the modern computer industry came into being. Who the players were, how they fought for domiance, who won, who lost, and why. The authors cleary delineate the pivotal points that shape today's competitive landscape. For instance when Intel and Microsoft stole the day from IBM.For anyone even casually interested in the computer industry, this is a fasinating and easy read

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, May 10, 1998
This review is from: Computer Wars:: The Fall of IBM and the Future of Global Technology (Paperback)
This is a book book, if you like the subject. The first 1/3 tells the story of the collapse of IBM, and the rest of the book goes into the buissness aspects of what went wrong and what to do in the future. Great if you like either buissness or computers in general.
