The Road Ahead, a book written by Bill Gates, Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson and published in November 1995 (The Year when I was in 6th Semester B.E.EC DDIT Nadiad, GUJARAT India and Started Business of Books and Calculators!) , summarized the implications of the personal computing revolution and described a future profoundly changed by the arrival of a global interactive network. Did not foresee that the then-nascent Internet would evolve into the interactive network that Gates would later predict. Indeed, Microsoft intended that MSN would become the dominant network. After the book was written, but before it hit bookstores, Gates recognized that the Internet was gaining the critical mass needed to drive it to dominance, and on December 7, 1995 — just weeks after the release of the book — he redirected Microsoft to become an Internet-focused company (But Now.... GOOGLE is No 1 Why? Think... and Write Comments). Then he and coauthor Rinearson spent several months revising the book, making it 20,000 words longer and focused on the Internet. The revised edition was published in October 1996 as a trade paperback.
