The High Drama (and boredom) of an Anti-Trust Trial
In many ways, Ken Auletta's book reads like a daily diary of Microsoft's historic anti-trust trial. While there is much to be learned from the daily courtroom posturings of both Microsoft and the government, I was a little disappointed that Auletta was not quite capable of placing this trial into it's larger context -- its implications for the future of high-tech industry and the role that government will ultimately play in policing such fast-moving targets as the Internet and the computer industry. Having said that, this was a truly engaging book, and the fact that Auletta was able to make interesting such an otherwise dry topic (as he points out in the book, anti-trust trials have little in common with the high drama of Perry Mason) speaks well of his journalistic talents.
