<b>This "inside account captures the energy--and the madness--of the software giant's race to develop a critical new program. . . . Gripping" (<i>Fortune</i> Magazine).</b> <i>Showstopper</i> is the dramatic, inside story of the creation of Windows NT, told by <i>Wall Street Journal</i> 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 <i>The Soul of a New Machine</i> by Tracy Kidder, <i>Showstopper</i> 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.
