Showstopper!

Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft is a 1994 nonfiction book by G. Pascal Zachary. The book explores the corporate culture of Microsoft and the development of Windows NT.^[1] Bill Taylor, writing for Harvard Business Review, called it "riveting" and praised its in-depth analysis of Microsoft's history.^[2] Grayden Jones of The Spokesman-Review wrote that: "Like NT (New Technology), Zachary’s tale is a bit of a let down, since the project neither failed nor became wildly successful. He spends most of 312 pages describing the pathetic lives of programmers who sold their souls for a chance to ride Microsoft stock options to riches."^[3]
