Download Digital Wars: Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the Battle for the Internet AudioBook Free
Digital Wars begins in 1998, when the web and computing business was about to be upended - by an antitrust case, a tiny start-up and a ex - large rebuilding it. Charles Arthur here examines the differing strategies of the three best-known technical companies in their battle to succeed control of the exploding network linking the globe. Microsoft was a giant - soon to be the highest-valued company on earth - while Apple was a minnow and Yahoo just a start-up. By February 2012, Apple was worthwhile more than both Microsoft and Yahoo combined. With the voices of ex - and current personnel, Arthur looks at the tumultuous battle between your three companies and what their various successes meant for us.
