Show-stopper! by G Pascal Zachary

In 1988, "Microsoft" chief Bill Gates launched an extraodinary campaign to ensure his company's domination of the next generation of the computer revolution. Under programming legend David Cutler, he assembled a team of programmers who worked day and night for five years, spending $150 million in the drive to unlock new intricacies of both computer technology and the marketplace. "Windows NT" was the result, a complex system capable of repeatedly and reliably working on millions of computers throughout the world. This is the story of that team and its achievement, a tale of money and power, colourful characters and clattering egos in the workplace, and an adventure on the frontiers of new technology.
