Microsoft Secrets: How the World’s Most Powerful Company Creates Technology, Shapes Markets, and Manages People
Most of this book is based on what the authors describe as unusually candid interviews with thirty-eight senior microsoft employees and the analysis of several thousand pages of confidential internal documents and project data. The book has high praise for Microsoft's approach to product development and team management, which they describe as the synch-and-stabilize process. The book devotes one chapter to each of seven strategies that the authors view as characterizing how Microsoft works.

While this book is entertaining to read, I was disappointed that there was so little about their software testing approaches. The book centers much more on project management (not that that's a bad thing).
