This “inside account captures the energy—and the madness—of
the software giant’s race to develop a critical new program.
. . . Gripping” (Fortune Magazine).
Showstopper is the dramatic, inside story of the creation of
Windows NT, told by Wall Street Journal reporter G.
Pascal Zachary. Driven by the legendary David Cutler, a picked band
of software engineers sacrifices almost everything in their lives
to build a new, stable, operating system aimed at giving Microsoft
a platform for growth through the next decade of development in the
computing business. Comparable in many ways to the Pulitzer
Prize–winning book The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy
Kidder, Showstopper gets deep inside the process of
software development, the lives and motivations of coders and the
pressure to succeed coupled with the drive for originality and
perfection that can pull a diverse team together to create a
program consisting of many hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
