    June 25, 2007: Although certainly not perfect, this book is outstanding for communicating with enthusiasm the vision of what computers can already do for business, almost anyone's business.

    February 13, 2004: We found the concepts in Gates & Hemingway (2000) ?Business at the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy? interesting and helpful for business planning and development. Creating a ?digital nervous system? seems a lofty ideal and a little too technical and impersonal though. We would have liked to see more business examples outside of the Microsoft examples they cited. What we also liked about this book is that it offers a brief glimpse into the mind and thinking of one of the most successful businessman in history. For anyone interested in business/leadership biography, this is a worthwhile read.
