"Nearly every aspect of finance and life is being shaped by the compounding acceleration of technological change. The scope of such change is superbly explored, and clearly explained, in The Future of Software." -- Stephen h. hopkins, CFO, Asset Management, Goldman, Sachs & Co. "As with Technology 2001, Leebaert's latest study again comes 'from inside the industry.' The Future of Software lucidly shares the visions and forecasts of IBM, Lotus, Microsoft, DEC, Intel, and Novell--as well as the insights of leading strategists--with the rest of the business world. this is a valuable and welcomed service." -- Ellen M. Knapp, Vice Chairman, Coopers & Lybrand " The Future of Software is particularly exciting to me because of its two themes: how we are creating an ever-stronger coordination of knowledge, and how we are coming to take for granted the things which only yesterday would have appeared miraculous. What does all this mean? The authors tell us, and in a lively fashion that surpasses the science-fiction of my childhood." -- Sebastian Shaumyan, Professor of Linguistics Emeritus, Yale University
