“Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire”, by James Wallace, Jim Erickson

Read from March 2005 to August 2005.

This is about the early years at Microsoft, and more directly, about Bill Gates. His early years prior to the company, in NM, and finally until 1991 in WA. The authors talk a lot about the early employees, which sheds some keen insights on how things are done now. There are a fair number of interviews from semi-superstars at Microsoft (people that were considered superstars at that time, but who’s stars have faded). If you want to know how it all started, this book is pretty interesting to read.
