从1983年Windows在拉斯维加斯的划时代发布，到持续发酵的Internet Explorer诉Netscape反垄断案，这部以“开发者视角”展开的作品，澄清了信息时代短暂却精彩的历史中无数备受争议、乃至屡屡对簿公堂的转折点真相。微软究竟是如何错失互联网先机，让Netscape在网页浏览器领域抢占鳌头的？在Windows界面的开发中，他们究竟有没有抄袭Macintosh？背后的真实内幕究竟为何——哪怕是GO Corporation首席执行官Jerry也不曾知晓的真相

我太期待有亲历那个时期的人写一本关于 Longhorn/Vista/7/8 时代 Windows 部门的回忆录了。类似于《Barbarians Led By Bill Gates》（比尔·盖茨带领的野蛮人）那种。我敢打赌 Sinofsky 执掌的那个时期争议肯定也一样大。
I'm so looking forward to someone from his timeframe write a memoir about Windows division of Longhorn/Vista/7/8 period. Something like Barbarians Led By Bill Gates. I bet Sinofsky's period would be as much polarizing.
……不管 386 跑 xenix 到底卡不卡成狗，反正我写这段话时手边大约 6 英尺处就放着一台真·386。你要想体验这种酸爽，我甚至可以给你开个 login。Windows 95 确实做出了妥协，想了解详情的话可以去读读《Barbarians Led By Bill Gates》。它压根就没打算做成走网络路线的系统（NT），而是给传统家用电脑准备的。Internet Explorer 也是火烧眉毛最后一刻赶工出来的，所以当时直接拿了 spyglass 的授权代码……
…xenix on a 386 is an unusable dog or not, I've got an actual 386 about 6 feet away from me as I write this. I could even give you login if you want to live the pain. Windows 95 made compromises, read barbarians led by Bill Gates for a good rundown. It was never intended to be their network line (NT), but instead for traditional home computers. Internet explorer was super last minute that's why it was just licensed code from spyglass…
《Barbarians Led by Bill Gates》很清楚地概述了他们在这个关头关于网络策略的内部权力斗争。他们当时在很大程度上抵制范围更广的互联网，因为互联网那时已经发展成熟，并且是基于 Unix 工具体系建立起来的，而且……
"Barbarians Led by Bill Gates" has a good overview of the internal power struggle over their online stagey at this juncture. They largely resisted the wider internet because it was already developed and based around Unix tools and…
有一本由早期微软员工写的书，书名有点奇特，叫《Barbarians Led by Bill Gates》，里面描述了作者与 Myrvold（内森·梅尔沃德）打交道的经历。想多了解 Myrvold 的工作风格的话，这本书非常发人深省而且引人入胜。书里提到过这么一件事：有一次 Myrvold……
There is a strangely titled book written by one of the early Microsoft employee called "Barbarians Led by Bill Gates" which describes authors interactions with Myrvold. It's a very enlightening and entertaining book to learn more about how Myrvold works. One of the incidence in this book is as follows: Myrvold one…
根据《Barbarians Led by Bill Gates》的说法，这是一个刻意的选择，理由是有研究评估了完成某些任务所需的点击次数。顺便说一句，书很棒。
According to "Barbarians led by Bill Gates" this was an intentional choice justified by studies of number of clicks required to perform some tasks. Great book, btw.
……拥有敏锐的战略眼光，看出软件不仅会成为一个可行行业，而且很可能是最具价值的计算机产业。他自己似乎算个不错、但称不上神级的程序员。《Barbarians Led By Bill Gates》是一本关于微软相对早期历史的好书——早到书里还记载了程序员发现并用更好的代码替换掉 Bill 原本写的代码的例子。如果我没记错的话，至少有……
…strategic vision to see that software was not only going to be a viable industry, it was likely to be the most valuable computer industry. It seems like he was good but not a spectacular programmer himself. Barbarians Led By Bill Gates is a great book about the relatively early days of Microsoft--early enough that the book describes some instances of programmers finding and replacing Bill's code with better stuff. IIRC there is at least…
