Microsoft Press is the publishing division of Microsoft, producing books related to Microsoft technologies. Its early publications included The Apple Macintosh Book by Cary Lu and Exploring the IBM PCjr Home Computer by Peter Norton, published in 1984 at the West Coast Computer Faire. Over time, the publisher has released books authored by notable figures such as Charles Petzold, Steve McConnell, Mark Russinovich, and Jeffrey Richter.
In 2009, a distribution agreement was made with O'Reilly Media, which became the official distributor of Microsoft Press publications. This arrangement changed in 2014 when Pearson assumed distribution responsibilities.
