It is totally a coincidence that this new edition coincides with the renewal of the Microsoft monopolistic business practices trial," states Tim Barry, industry pundit and author/editor of the book. But it does prove our point that Microsoft continues to be topical-which makes it an ongoing source of humorous material."

Also new in this edition is a bonus chapter of 101 of the Best Light Bulb Jokes" ever. The book focuses on Microsoft company culture, new product development, Windows and, of course, Bill Gates -- who again gets two whole chapters to himself.
