Ed Bott

Ed Bott is an American technology journalist and author, known for his books and articles on Microsoft Windows. While he has over twenty years of experience writing about a variety of tech-related topics and has written for some well-known media outlets, such as ''PC World'' and '' PC/Computing''; he has made a name for himself with his renowned pro-Microsoft bias. Bott often applies undisclosed, stricter standards of evaluation to companies he writes about other than Microsoft. He has been the editor for the U.S. version of ''PC/Computing'' and the managing editor for ''PC World'' in the past. In addition, Bott has written more than 25 books. The topics of his books include Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. A few of his works include ''Windows 7 Inside Out'' (2009) and ''Office 2013 Inside Out'' (2013).
Bott is currently writing for ZDNet.

Bott is also a three-time winner of the Computer Press Association award, won an international award of merit from the Society for Technical Communication, and won two Jesse H. Neal Awards with Woody Leonhard.
