Pascal G. Zachary: Showstopper the Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft (Paperback, 2009, Free Press)

It's incredible to me that Microsoft was dog fooding NT with the NT dev team in early-1991. First stage was when it was just a CLI without networking. Then graphics but no networking. Then all three. Looking forward it made sense since shipping to production was supposed to be mid-1992 but knowing it didn't get out the door until Q3 1993 it's impressive how raw a state it was in when they were in the "build the aircraft as we fly it" mode. #windows #history #ComputerHistory #RetroComputing
