Development Team
David N.Culter, the founder of NT project. After graduated from high school, he accepted
the school scholarship and went to a small college Olivet in Michigan. He palyed football
but quitted playing after breaking his leg when he was a sophomore. After graduating he
got a job in DUPONT in January, 1965. His work needed computer modeling so he went to
a computer programming school of IBM. A new computer series, Prism, was built by DEC
but the project was canceled by DEC. Culter left DEC and that had been the rudiment of
NT. A friend introduced Culter to the Microsoft, and there Microsoft started NT project.
Through 5 years' hard working, with 1.5 billion dollars, more than 200 members, the
epoch-making Window NT was developed.
Bill Gates is a little afraid of Culter. Culter is hard and stern. He is against lazy, confused,
and lack of competitiveness. He is not only a legend programmer, but also a great project
manager. The project of Windows NT takes very long time, costs lots of money, and staffs.
It may be the unprecedented project of history. Windows NT and the later Windows
versions have almost unified the PC platform. That is a great contribution to the computer
and software development.
