Good Book but... - By: Mr. A. Kalam, 28 Jun 2007 
I had assumed this was the full book - it's only the Pre-Intermediate level book & so this was only 48 pages long. It's an extremely short version; this was my own fault for not checking but I thought I should just give you a heads-up.
An excellent foresight into the future. - By: c.neale@ntlworld.com, 10 Dec 2000 
Bill Gates is not one to stay stuck in the present. His foresight into both technology, & the societey & technology is stunning. I read this book 4 years after it was first published, & I was astounded to see that many of the 'events' forecast had already happened.
As a leader in the Software market, Bill Gates is in the position to both see how the market will be in the future, & to steer us in that direction.
This is a well thought out, well written piece of work. Both interesting & entertaining.
An Insight to a wrongly potrayed man - By: , 21 Nov 2000 Bill Gates tells his story about how he founded the multi-billion pound Microsoft Corp. & also of the personal traumas & experiences that he shared while achieving this, the death of his Mother, & several knockbacks show that Gates never gave up, even when his first product floundered. This is a must for alll people who have adopted the Media's portrayl of him as a computer geek, this book actuallly shows he's human, & has worked for where he is now, compelling & very interesting, makes this book a bargain!
Fascinating - By: andy352@hotmail.com, 24 Nov 1999 Superb, excellent, this book reallly captures the mind. Gates shows how intelligent he is with some of his predictions, which will make our lives easier & safer. May of his predictions are suddenly creeping into the market place.In the book Gates describes how technology has advanced, & of course how he thinks it will further advance. He explains things simply & clearly. The beggining of the book is not to great, but the rest of the book is excellent. As gates says at the beggining of the book, ' anyone who is expecting a biography of Bill Gates has choosen the wrong book'.This is true, Gates is simply acting as a philiosopher in the technological world.
