Stross could have written a fabulous book about how Microsoft's meritocracy produced a perfect monopoly, out of sheer grit and the love bestowed upon its team of managers by America's mutual funds (their fondness for Microsoft stock yielded a price that allowed the company, with its handsome stock-option compensation program, to hold on to its best, most talented players).
Also Monday, we post a review by James J. Cramer of The Microsoft Way by Randall E. Stross, a big new book about the well-known Seattle-based coffee--uh, we mean software--company.
But Stross fails to see the larger context for Microsoft's dominance, and we know that from the get-go, when he begins his book with a pretentious foreword that postulates the similarities between Henry Ford and Bill Gates, a comparison to which he alludes repeatedly over the next 239 pages.
To his credit, Stross does grasp what's right at Microsoft: the hard-boiled meritocracy that makes rich those who contribute to it; Bill Gates' prediction that consumers, not just large businesses, would jump at the chance to own computers; and his--and his company's--driving desire to outsmart and outfox the competition.
And Stross skips almost entirely over Microsoft's chief strength, the operating systems of both personal computers (first MS-DOS and then Windows 95) and big corporate machines (Windows NT).
