1. ...especially not a windy one. This book literally starts *decomposing* the moment you first open it. After about 30 pages I ended up with a lap full of loose pages, some of them not even paginated. Took me a good hour to put the damn thing back together. The press itself looks like it was done on a cheap inkjet printer, and sometimes it is hard to tell "e" from "o", "g" from "j" etc... As for the content - this book reads like one of those UFO/government/name-your conspiracy pamphlets. There is a lot of biterness, resentment and outright rage aimed towards Microsoft, which apparently wronged the author in some way. These uncontrolled emotions distort the whole idea the author is trying to present: that there are other alternatives to Microsoft products. The editing is nonexistent - some paragraphs and whole chapters feel like they were written in one rage-fueled take, with occasional trips to the basement to punch holes in the walls with bare fists.

   This person shouldn't be writing books.




2. If the global internet community the dreamland John Lennon sang in his song, Imaging, there will be no government and borderline. Is it true that there is no government and borderline in the world of Internet? Is Operation System, Server or browser the new government or secret agent of the new world? Are we creating utopia or creating new kind of violence and terror? Does mankind have the future in their hands? From this perspective, this book is a testimony of the fact. It has its historic value for researcher.



3. The author should focus more on what makes Linux a good OS rather than his rantings about Microsoft. This book was a waste of time. I took it back for a refund.



4. This guy is an embarrassmant to the publisher. His brainless rantings may be the result of rage fueled by something in his personal life perhaps?

   I'm not a great fan of Microsofts business ethic, but the author is narrow minded, unable to reason or dicuss. Like most folk who rant over anything, the text isn't worth reading. I binned the book.




5. This book reads like the mad rantings of a very PO-ed former Microsoft employee. My feelings about the company have only become more solidified since the time I read this book nearly 4 years ago - a nasty monopolist that gives new meaning to the word "compete." But don't be fooled by either the company or the dope who started crying wolf after he likely profited and now has no other Microsoft to latch onto. Read this book only if you appreciate the rights of both sides to air their story and then you can make up your mind.
