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.

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...
评分昨天收到了华章寄来的新书《观止：微软创建NT和未来的夺命狂奔》，其实这本已经算不上是新书了，15年前英文版已经上市，而在15年之后终于有机会看到中文版。本来对这样一本书我是没有多大兴趣的，我一直认为这是一本歌颂微软有多么伟大、微软是多么有远见的书，但是当我读完前...
评分为世人完整的重现了整个NT开发过程的方方面面，让大家对这样大型、复杂项目有了一个感性的认识，对项目、团队管理具有不小的启发作用。 感触： 一：经济刺激作用。不用看薪资待遇方面，最初加入NT团队的人，2年左右的时间通过持有的微软股票基本都成了百万富翁。 二：关键的高...
