具体描述
Showstopper! is a vivid account of the creation of Microsoft Windows NT, perhaps the most complex software project ever undertaken. It is also a portrait of David Cutler, NT's brilliant and, at times, brutally aggressive chief architect.
Cutler surely ranks as one of the most impressive software engineers the field has ever produced. After leading the team that created the VMS operating system for Digital's VAX computer line--an accomplishment that most would regard as a lifetime achievement--he went on to conceive and lead the grueling multi-year project that ultimately produced Windows NT. Both admired and feared by his team, Cutler would let nothing stand in the way of realizing his design and often clashed with his programmers, senior Microsoft management, and even Gates himself. Yet no matter how involved he became in managing his 100-programmer team, he continued to immerse himself in every technical detail of the project and write critical portions of the code himself.
Showstopper! is also a fascinating look at programmer and managerial culture behind the Microsoft facade. The portraits of the men and women who created NT not only reveal the brilliance of their work but the crushing stress and the dislocating effects that new wealth had on their lives. For some team members, the NT project ultimately destroyed their marriages, friendships, and virtually every human relationship outside of work. Showstopper! also reveals the uncertainties, false starts, and blind alleys that dogged the project as Microsoft repositioned NT from an improved OS/2 to something that would ultimately challenge both OS/2 and Unix for the title of the world's most powerful operating system.

读后感
我是断断续续的读完这本书的，所以很多内容感觉上不是很连贯。我不知道是因为我的断断续续，还是因为翻译质量导致的，但为了维护对自己近30年的汉语经验的一点点可怜的自尊，我还是归咎于翻译质量吧。 这位同学举出了一些：http://book.douban.com/review/2308117/，自己在读...
评分没看过这本书，看见NT这俩字母，想起了点什么。曾经也是个用C打遍天下的程序员，最早看NT的书，是95年看《Windows NT高级编程技术》，那时候，那时候还没学OS原理，看线程和内存交换跟天书一样，宿舍里装的还是Windows 3.1，也没有实践的机会。呵呵，那会感觉NT=New Technology...
评分从同事那儿借来的书，飞快地看完了。故事是不错，NT这个项目对微软的意义也不言而喻，这个项目的确可以说是微软历史上最重要的一个项目。我就有两点感想： 1. 微软还是很纵容卡特勒的，让他带自己队伍进公司，给他高人一等的地位，连盖茨在他面前都小心翼翼地，虽然项目一再de...
评分首先，关于书名： 按照译者的说法，“观止”这个词取自《古文观止》的后半截，而《古文观止》后半截是什么意思呢？ >>“观止”二字，出自《左传•襄公十九年》：吴季札在鲁国赏周乐，至《韶》舞，赞叹：“德至矣哉！大矣”，认为无美不具，于是说：“观止矣。”书名为观止，...
