This is the book you take with you to read in the waiting room at the doctor's office; otherwise, don't waste your time. The book's premise, albeit juvenile and narrow-minded, is an anchor for Beard and the gang to spin out some of the most creative stuff this reader's ever seen. (And don't let the laptop-style layout fool you--look closely at the keyboard on every page and you'll find irregularities in the keys.)

You'd think these guys would go easy on the world's richest man. This book is a devastating poke at Bill Gates and his meglomania. I'm sure Mr. Gates isn't as bad as all that but the book is very funny. It's rare that you see such a high quality humor book. Ron Barrett is excellent--I also read his children's books to my kids...

Bill Gates' Laptop, by the same people who created O.J.'s Legal Pad, is an interesting parody aimed at Bill Gates. Unfortunately, the illustrations and concept are more interesting than the writing, which occasionally borders on the juvenile. But the graphics and illustration are worth the book's cover price and more than make up for some apparently uninformed writing. I will definately recommend this to anyone suffering from Microsoft-related stress.

These guys really know what they are doing when it comes to Bill Gates. This is probably the best Bill Gates humor book I've seen. I only wish I could be there when Billg gets his hands on a copy and realizes that Henry Beard has his number. It makes for great reading while your computer reboots after crashing...

Anything concerning Bill Gates is bound to be controversial (and the reviews below support that statement)

Take the book for what it is . . . simply a spoof on Gates with some interesting book design . . . it wasn't intended to be great literature!

The best part of the whole book is seeing which "keys" change on every page.... otherwise, it's a pretty funny book, but you do have to know what was going on when the book was written to get the jokes.

Being the webmaster for IHateBillGates.Com, I got an advanced copy of this book. It's a creative look at the private files on Bill Gates' personal laptop. The layout of the book is wonderful and the hardcover is designed as a laptop! Kept me laughing for hours. Get your copy today!

God, what a complete waste of trees! I mean, I'm not a billg fan, but this was an completely predictable, utterly sophomoric effort.

very poor book. My ex-wife had to have written it
