Has anyone read "Showstopper".
This is a pretty good read on the efforts to develop Windows NT and the origins of the OS. I enjoyed the book a lot and it made Dave Cutler out to be quite an ogre. Very demanding. Belittling everyone around him. Throwing tantrums constantly.
I guess that is now *real* software engineering projects get moved along.
I would highly recommend this one if you are interested in the article posted here.
