At the meeting I dropped in on today, I met Roberto Di Cosmo from France. He gave me a copy of his book HIJACKING THE WORLD THE DARK SIDE OF MICROSOFT No matter what you believe re the trail etc, this book is thought provoking and as far as I can tell well reasoned. His analysis of MS in Research , Buying Brain Power,reminds me of the NYTimes article on MS acquitition of key University Scientists. The book is in English but at a French site and this it may be getable electronically but I dont understand French (just English, Fortran, Cobol, PL/1, COMTRAN (bet not many remember that), IPLV, C, etc etc. If anyone can proble a bit and find out how to get copies it is well worth the cost. It is at http://www.00h00.com Dave
