From the Author
I've been in and around the computer industry for over 25 years and I have never before seen the kind of reaction that Microsoft and their products provoke. People may love them or hate them but everybody knows them and very few have just neutral feelings about them. Poking a little fun at the rich and powerful is at the core of the American literary tradition of satire and parody so it just seemed to me like a good idea to have a collection of humorous material with Microsoft, its creator Bill Gates and some of its products and practices at the center.
