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
在这里要推荐下《观止-微软创建NT和未来的夺命狂奔》，非常精彩，讲述了windows NT开发过程中的人和事。这不仅仅是故事书，也可以看做一本项目管理方面的指南，可以看看这么巨大的项目（几百万行代码）所遭遇到的难题和痛楚。我更愿意将这本书当做《人月神话》的故事版，同...
评分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...
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...
