Whenever I think about Microsoft, I think about how clever they are to jump into a market at just the precise time, after other companies have laid the groundwork and the industry is just starting to emerge. Think about the browser wars, about streaming media and think about the video game industry, which is one of the fastest growing markets today.
Dean Takahaski took his knowledge as a business journalist for 14 years to chronicle his take on the Microsofts gamble with the Xbox. Takahaski is the author of Opening the Xbox: Inside Microsofts Plan to Unleash an Entertainment Revolution.
Not only is Takahaski a journalist and gaming - industry expert - he is a die-hard video gamer for life. He offered me his perspective on what the Xbox is doing for Microsoft.
