Microsoft at War: Keeping Score of Redmond's Success and Fail Stories
Microsoft sits on the edge of a product launch that is plainly among the most important in the company's history. It comes at a time when the company's traditional hardware partners are facing ferocious market pressure from the commoditization of their products, and of course, the juggernaut known as the iPad.
