我觉得《帝国叛将》（Renegades of the Empire）非常引人入胜地展现了雷德蒙德（微软总部）内部的权力斗争，顺带还有一部分 DirectX 的历史 https://www.amazon.com/Renegades-Empire-Software-Revolution-...
I thought Renegades of the Empire was a fascinating look into the internal machinations at Redmond and a bit of DirectX history too https://www.amazon.com/Renegades-Empire-Software-Revolution-...
我（依稀）记得读过一本 Michael Drummond 写的挺有意思的书——《帝国叛将：三位软件斗士如何在微软堡垒高墙后发起一场革命》（Renegades of the Empire: How Three Software Warriors Started a Revolution Behind the Walls of Fortress）。在我的记忆中，DirectX 的诞生其实是一个臭鼬工厂项目（skunkworks project），旨在打造他们构想中的……

……知道。如果一份历史叙述在已知细节上叙述无误，却遗漏了一大堆细节，那它还算准确吗？其实有一本写 Direct3D 诞生的好书，叫《帝国叛将》（Renegades of the Empire，http://tinyurl.com/3n4jnru）。读过那本书之后我可以告诉你，这份叙述虽然技术细节很准确，但忽略了当时发生的许多其他问题。比如……1. 团队……

…some of his notes regarding OpenGL vs. Direct3D around: http://chrishecker.com/OpenGL It seemed quite important at the time that he- who begat WinG, which begat DirectX, some of which is covered in Renegades of the Empire, which someone else mentioned, which is certainly worth reading- went on to agitate for OpenGL over Direct3D. Now there's kind of a scrapheap of history vibe off of the whole thing.

……关于 OpenGL 与 Direct3D 之争，他的一些笔记还留在网上：http://chrishecker.com/OpenGL。在当时这似乎意义重大：正是他催生了 WinG，进而催生了 DirectX（刚才有人提到的《帝国叛将》里也写到了一部分，那本书绝对值得一读），后来却转而大力鼓吹 OpenGL 优于 Direct3D。现在回头看整件事，颇有一种历史垃圾堆的沧桑感。
