It is equivalent to a B-1 visitor business visa. You definitely can't work for a US-based business in that time (ie if you've incorporated in Delaware or something there's no way you can come in legally and get paid while visiting on a 90 day program).
However, you can do these things: 9 FAM 41.31 N8 ALIENS TRAVELING TO UNITED STATES TO ENGAGE IN COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS, CONSULTATIONS, CONFERENCES, ETC. (CT:VISA-701; 02-15-2005) Aliens should be classified B-1 visitors for business, if otherwise eligible, if they are traveling to the United States to: (1) Engage in commercial transactions, which do not involve gainful employment in the United States (such as a merchant who takes orders for goods manufactured abroad); (2) Negotiate contracts; (3) Consult with business associates; (4) Litigate; (5) Participate in scientific, educational, professional, or business conventions, conferences, or seminars; or (6) Undertake independent research All this information (and more) is available from http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_2664.html - it doesn't need to be debated here.
