Publisher's Note
Bill Gates - whose vision of the personal computer propelled Microsoft into one of the world's leading companies - astonished the business community in 1996 by abruptly reinventing his entire company around the Internet. In this fully revised and updated edition of his bestseller, The Road Ahead, Gates explains why the Internet is revolutionizing not just Microsoft but everything else too - and at a faster pace than even he had anticipated. Gates describes the implications for everybody of a world connected by interactive computer networks, and addresses our most pressing questions.

Industry Reviews
"Bill Gates paints a dazzling portrait of the future....Most people are bound to be entranced by this Asimovian vision of the information age."
Etzioni

"The book does a masterful job of showing how the existing information flow in to the millions of on-line home computers is inspiring all kinds of empowering ways to use technology."
Etzioni

"Fun to read....Gates is essentially a pragmatist. He believes technology is our salvation. What really excites him is the 'magical' nature of the new electronic world we're about to enter."
Etzioni

"THE ROAD AHEAD does a remarkably good job of explaining the fundamentals of the computer revolution to people who remain hazy about what has really happened."
