He started write Bill & Dave: How Hewlett and Packard Built the World's Greatest Company because he thought Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were good business men. Even though HP was not going through a good era at the time he started writing, he focused on Hewlett and Packard rather than HP’s history. He discussed why when people lost their jobs they had such emotional attachment to the company. He discussed the interactions between the two men. Malone said that good companies have been lead by pairs, with Google, Inc. and eBay, Inc. serving as other examples.
