I don't often do book reviews; however I figured I would share my latest reading experience. I picked up a copy of Mary Jo Foley’s book Microsoft 2.0 at TechEd. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the balanced view of how Microsoft plans to stay the powerhouse that it is today. She explains some of the current business thrusts of the company as well as a lot of the plans the company has for the future. This is all done with a very pragmatic and unbiased view.

I was also impressed on how current the book is. Even though it takes a couple months for a book to complete the copy edits and layout the book reads as if you were reading today’s technology headlines. If you are interested in Microsoft and one view on how BillG’s retirement will effect the company, I would recommend picking up a copy of Microsoft 2.0.

To ensure that it stays current, Mary Jo will keep the book up-to-date by posting information at www.microsoft2.net.
