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.

在大部分的中国人心中,提到微软可能马上能想到以下几个人物: (1)盖茨 他是微软的创造者 (2)李开复 离开微软到Google事件,一下声名大振 (3)唐峻 这个曾在微软打工的打工皇帝 这些人或多或少我们都因为他们的一些自传更多的了解了他们,可无论是李开复也好,还...
評分这是一本不错的书,书中主要描述微软创建NT的重重困难。 看过了这本书,让我真正见识到了什么叫科学狂人,之前也许我认为那么多的天才来自于先天,或者说是来源于较早的启蒙开发,不过现在了解了那一份成功背后无数的努力艰辛。 这样的辛苦,是我们几个人能够承受得住的。 而且...
評分副标题定为“夺命狂奔”真是很贴切。不但是狂奔,而且是一口气不喘地狂奔了接近5年。最终挺下来的人,也许值得敬佩,或者更应该得到同情,因为他们的身体、心理、家庭受到了如此多的损耗。当一切真的结束时,没有狂喜,因为盼望这一天太久了,以至于当它真的到来时,反而显得那...
評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...
評分最近刚看过这本书,还有前一段看过一本介绍苹果Macintosh诞生过程的书。 相同的体会就是软件开发的过程中,没有不加班,没有不延迟发布的。我们总是对我们面对的情况过于乐观,或者说开发的进程中总会出现意外的情况。最终发布的产品一定是一个折衷的产品,100%符合开发预期...
