Ich habe mir die kostenlose Probeversion auf den Kindle schicken lassen. Zum Glück. Das hat mich vor einem Fehlkauf bewahrt. Das Buch enthält viele Tabellen, die auf dem Kindle einfach unten oder am rechten Rand abgeschnitten werden. Sehr enttäuschend. Das ganze wurde anscheinend automatisch von irgendeiner Quelle in das Kindle-Format konvertiert, ohne die nötigen Anpassungen.
Wer daran denkt, sich das Buch zu kaufen, sollte auf keinen Fall die Kindle-Version wählen.
Da ich zum Inhalt keine Aussage mache, gibt es dafür einen Gnadenstern.

Well done
30. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
This style guide surprised me, in several good ways. First, the layout uses more white space, a clearer typeface, and is slightly easier to read than most style guides. It isn't that the others are bad, but that this one is better. I also like that Microsoft does not label their examples as "correct" or "incorrect," but instead uses the terms "Microsoft Style" and "Not Microsoft Style." While it should be understood that this is the ultimate meaning of "correct" and "incorrect" in the books from IBM and Sun, Microsoft comes across as both authoritative and humble at the same time-an impressive feat. Unique topics include writing with accessibility in mind, for content reuse in ways that allow those with non-traditional needs to be able to use the information.

Great Update to a Technical Publications Standard
6. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
As a technical writer, the Microsoft Manual of Style is the first style guide I reach for when I am a working on documentation project when the organization doesn't have a corporate style guide. Now, Microsoft has published the Microsoft Manual of Style, 4th Edition that includes some timely updates documenting how Microsoft's editorial style is adapting and changing to meet new technologies.
The Microsoft Manual of Style is a soup to nuts guide to the Microsoft style for writing technical documentation. I like its holistic approach that includes principles of Microsoft Style, web content, international audience considerations, writing about user interface guidelines, and writing procedures. It rounds out with a well-documented usage dictionary. The Microsoft writers and editors behind this edition have put together a solid guide that can serve both experienced and novice writers alike even just to help resolve stylistic arguments during the writing and editing of documents. Some notable updates in this edition include how Microsoft handles writing about mobile phones, gestures, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and for international audiences.
Chapter 2 Content for the web could really benefit from some screen shot examples from Microsoft web properties to show examples. It also is light on Community-based content coverage. Sparing my feelings as a technical writer, I realize community provided content is playing a role in documentation and support. Unfortunately, I've had my issues with community provided content as a user seeking support online for technical issues. The body of practical knowledge on managing community provided content seems scant in my opinion and I was hoping to see some substantive guidance on editing and managing such content in this edition of the style guide.
The change in tone in this edition of the style guide is quite refreshing. While it is easy to nerd it up on what is right or wrong when it comes to writing style, this edition breaks down many stylistic decisions as Microsoft style versus Not Microsoft Style.
This latest edition also has a fresh new design, which is cool to see since the design of the last couple of editions seems to bleed together in my memory. There is more white space and a new font from previous editions, which makes adds a lot to the style guide.
I recommend the Microsoft Manual of Style because this edition has some nice and timely updates. Previous editions of the Microsoft Manual of Style have also served me well and the guide is helpful to writers and non-writers alike tasked to write technical documents. The guiding principles set out in this edition of the style guide can help writers of all experience levels.

Excellent Update
15. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
What I noticed the first time I opened this book was (as others have mentioned) the amount of extra white space and font changes, which make this book much more pleasureable to read and to refer to. Clear and concise language, along with excellent figures, diagrams and readable tables throughout the book also help. Microsoft has done a great job in updating a classic book of theirs. Their Usage Dictionary reflects the changes seen in the computer industry over the last several years.
The book's first chapter describes in detail Microsoft's distinctive style and voice. Many subsequent chapters show examples of how something is done Microsoft style as opposed to non-Microsoft style. This really helps the reader to understand the "how's and why's" of Microsoft writing style.
The Content for the Web and Content for a World Wide Audience have been expanded to reflect the changes in those areas. Among other topics given their own chapters are User Interface, Procedures and tech content, style issues and of course grammar and punctuation. While the last two seem to be basics we should have learned in grade school, it's good to have a reminder of just how important those two areas are.
I know I'll be using this book whenever I have a question about a style issue.
