Microsoft book to tell all news.com

Another PR machine gears up. This is essentially the same story as last time, but what the heck, I didn't say anything about it then.

Dubbed Barbarians Led by Bill Gates: Microsoft from the Inside . . .

Ok, first of all, fix the title. "Barbarians of Bill Gates" would at least keep the proper cadence, but barbarian doesn't seem quite the right pejorative for the rogues of Redmond anyway.

"I watched my mother create the Bill Gates myth in the early '80s, and I've watched her spin the Microsoft image ever since," Jennifer Edstrom said in a statement. "But Marlin and I have gotten to the people who actually designed the software and wrote the code...and they have quite a different story to tell."

Jeez Louise. Is this revenge of the Microserfs or something? Like it's supposed to be a revelation that Microsoft software is, at times, shall we say, problematic? They were lying about the integrity and uniformity of the Windows experience? I'm shocked, shocked! to hear such a thing. Round up the usual suspects.

Cheers, Dan.
