<DIV><I>Showstopper</I>&#160;is the dramatic, inside story of the creation of Windows NT, told by&#160;<I>Wall Street Journal</I>&#160;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.<BR /><BR /> Comparable in many ways to the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning book&#160;<I>The Soul of a New Machine</I>&#160;by Tracy Kidder,&#160;<I>Showstopper</I>&#160;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.</DIV>
