Showstopper! by G Pascal Zachary
An oldie but goodie. This tells the compelling story of the development of Windows NT, the software that was to drive Microsoft's dominance on the server, just as it had dominated the desktop.
This is a gripping tale of how the project came together, starting right from the start. It also made a geek star of earthy, no-nonsense hacker Dave Cutler who led the project - the author does well to bring out the personalities involved without losing sight of the focus.
