Middle School Book Report
Needed a short biography for my son to use for a bnook report. This book worked out great. Short, concise, contemporary.

Great book for a 3rd grader biography book report
Children can get introductory lesson on history of computers with this book. Has real pictures.

An easy, but fascinating read
I really enjoyed reading this book - in fact I read the entire thing in one sitting. Bill Gates has led an amazing life and been at the core of the PC revolution. This book covers the basic details of Microsoft's success and Bill Gates' role in this. It also includes a few glimpses of his private life. Fascinating reading, which I recommend to anyone interested in one of the most sucessful men in the US, or interested in an overview of the history of DOS, Windows, and PCs.

The book seems to be aimed at the reading level of a teenager, and is not overly detailed. If you want a more thorough history of Microsoft you probably want to look elsewhere. However, this was an enjoyable book about Bill, and is a nice easy read for an adult.
