Inside The Development of Windows NT

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday February 19, 2003 @03:52AM from the making-the-monster dept.

mrpuffypants writes "Winsupersite has a 3 part series this month about the history and development of Windows NT all the way up through Windows Server 2003. The author goes fairly in-depth describing how Windows is developed, managed, and how all 50 million+ lines are compiled daily. Part One covers the history of NT from its early days at Microsoft and Part Two discusses how the deployment of the forthcoming server version of Windows is coordinated daily." *shiver*

dude, I was thinking I was having some trouble being heard here on Slashdot (some idiots like to post under my name.. giving me a bad reputation), and I was wondering if you wanted to sell your Slashdot account to me.

>"asshat" - AC

the term "asshat" was invented by the guys on the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ 106.7 in Los Angeles who are ACTUALLY funny and entertaining - unlike Mark and Brian who are still doing Elvis jokes.. still...

I believe, iirc, that the term "asshat" was actually conceived for the obvious asshat, Rick Dees.

When you learn the origin of asshat - its obvious but also insightful at the same time... kinda like making a laptop keyboard glow from below.
