This book describe in detail about the experiences in the software development of the Microsoft company, Number One Software Company in the world. It begins with Microsoft Solution Framwork, then describe some important models, for example, MSF Team Model and MSF Process Model and etc. It use the IE explorer, XML Web Service, Voice Technic heading for the natural user interface as examples in order to explain the critical stages of software development and to conclude the success experiences of these projects. It also imforms about the unique engineering position in Microsoft Company: Project Manager(PM) and its function in the software development. It discusses some important issures in software testing.

Nowadays, softwares are becoming increasingly larger, with functions increasingly stronger. It becomes merely impossible for one or two genius programmers to accomplish a program which will not be abandoned by the market shortly. In the background of social big production, like other works of life, software development needs the cooperation. Windows and Office, Microsoft's marvelous products, for example, takes thousands of engineers to sustain and develop. Complicated working line needs more scientific schedule which is the reason of the birth of MSF. 
How to manage and control the risks of project in a forseeing and sustainable manner? How to communicate and cooperate effectively in the process of project development? How to satisfy the technique plan and commercial needs? These questions directly relate to the up and down of IT project. MSF, concerning these problems, designs risk management model, team management model, process management model and so on, which give effective instruction and help to working teams. Take team model for example. This model defines explicitly each role's duty and target within the team, like PM, developers, testers in the case of microsoft software project. And the process model is a milestone of the management structuer of the interactive and flexible project life cycle. Microsoft softwares are often combined with several milestones, each milestone, has specific target to accomplish. Such as the Alpha and Beta release in our fruit shopping project has two milestones.

In this book, which touchs me deeply is the chapers about PM, which can be viewd as the symbol of microsoft. As said before, Microsoft divides the whole production department into PM group, developer group and tester group. PM's usually don't write code. They are the leader of project, scheduler of team resorces and coodiater of project. They insure intime-releasing of software product that satisfy customer needs. And in different stages of software development, PM's duty is different. The book also points out hte differces between PM and project manager in the common sense. For example, project manager is usually one person while PM are more commonly a group of people in charge of a project. Overally, it demands highly for PM. About IQ, there are user interface design, API design, financial management, market search and etc. In EQ, there are leader technic, self-conscieness, business negotiation and etc.
