x+287 pages with index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black paper with silver lettering to spine in original jacket. First edition. "Breaking Windows" tells the story of the battle for the soul of Microsoft that raged inside the company from 1997 to 2000 and continues to reverberate today. Drawing on hundreds of e-mails among Microsoft executives, trial testimony, and exclusive interviews with Gates and his chief lieutenants, "Wall Street Journal" reporter David Bank reveals the bitter maneuvering between what he calls Microsoft s "Windows hawks" and its "Internet doves." On one side were the fierce defenders of the hegemony of Windows, on the other those who championed a new way of doing business based on the Internet s "open standards." The reformers wanted to break free from the legacy of Windows and dare to compete on the merits of their software. Condition: Corners gently bumped else a near fine copy in like jacket.
