Erfolg durch harte Arbeit, nicht (nur) in Deutschland!

Reviewed in Germany on August 10, 2016

Es wird die Geschichte Microsofts in einer Zeit unberechenbaren digitalen Wandels erzählt: die Geburtsstunden des Windows NT Kernels - einer Software, die heute Smartphones, Tablets, Spielekonsolen und PCs zugleich steuert. Im Zentrum steht ein Mann, David Neil Cutler, und sein unbezwingbarer Wille, nach seiner bitteren Enttäuschung bei Digital ein Meisterwerk bei Microsoft zu leisten. Mit großem Detail gibt der Autor Einblick in das Geschäftsleben Microsofts und lässt vor allem die Entwickler zu Wort kommen.

Besonders als Windows Entwickler hat mir dieses Buch angetan. Die harte, aber notwendige, Linie David Cutlers ist ein Beispiel für einen Führungsstil der zwar Menschen erschüttert doch gleichzeitig fasziniert. Echte Softwareentwicklung ist keine leichte Arbeit und Showstopper! ist ein exzellentes Beispiel dafür!

Selbst 13 Jahre nach seiner Veröffentlichung ist der Windows NT Kernel Treiber von Sillizium in der Welt des Business. Allerdings hat sich dieser Kernel erst heute unter Führung Satya Nadellas und dem "One Windows" Schlagwort so richtig ausgezahlt. Für Interressierte an digitaler Euphorie absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Fun and relatable

Reviewed in India on March 25, 2017

An interesting read, not divulging in technical details, but concentrating on the people and work relationship between the team members who pulled off the mammoth project. If you are into software development, you will very likely connect to the time and situation they went through. Also the book tells about the initial company culture at Microsoft and how it evolved from being a startup-ish company to an enterprise. Having experienced the company culture first hand, I could relate to a lot of things over there and it was a fun experience.
