The book Showstopper is good and about the creating of NT

The earlier NT releases, like NT 3.1, NT4 and 2000, are somehow extremely nice to run on extremely weak hardware. With this, I mean like running x86 Qemu on an ARM device without accelleration. I couldn't believe how NT4 was running via Qemu on a ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser, unlike Windows 95 and 98 that were much more sluggish
