The book includes six new essays by Bill Gates and also features pieces by Steve Ballmer and Paul Allen. Not the typical corporate autobiography, Inside Out is a vivid, interactive experience. Interspersed throughout are historical sidebars, Microsoft and industry trivia, insights, quotes -- even hidden puzzles. Three hundred full-color, artistically interesting photos, both new and historical, will illustrate the stories and ideas.

Often light and humorous, always eye-opening, Inside Out deals candidly with the controversy that frequently swirls around a company whose success is unrivaled in the history of business.
