The classic, in-depth developer's guide to the Windows kernel now covers Windows .NET Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. Written by noted Windows internals experts David Solomon and Mark Russinovich in collaboration with the Microsoft Windows .NET Server product development team, this book packs the latest concepts and terms, kernel and source code specifics, undocumented interfaces, component and tool descriptions, and architectural perspectives that reveal the inner workings of the operating system. Special callouts highlight information that is specific to a particular version of Windows, and an advanced troubleshooting section helps you more easily decipher-and exploit-system operations and performance.
Pure internals
| Customer Rating: | | It's Mark Russinovich !!! Its really a nice book, which drills down to the in-depths of Windows |
Excellent technical reference
| Customer Rating: | I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a very detailed analysis of Windows XP/2000/2003. It's so good, I've already ordered Windows® Internals: Including Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, Fifth Edition (PRO-Developer).
I found the content to be rich and detailed. It tells how the Microsoft operating system functions on different levels and goes into detail on how to use specific tools to examine what's happening.
I imagine like most readers, I don't need to know everything about Windows but I do need to know everything possible about specific aspects. I purchased this book mainly to get detailed information about the NTFS file system. A phenominal companion is Stanek's Microsoft® Windows Server(TM) 2003 Inside Out / Windows Server 2008 Inside Out which provide indepth examination of storage and file systems from an administrator's perspective.
My synopsis of the book is this. I found it to be very informative. Handy when it comes to NTFS and associated system areas such as the cache and virtual memory. An excellent purchase. |
Very thorough treatment of the subject matter
| Customer Rating: | I bought this book to learn about NT file system design. I found almost everything that I needed. Another book I found very helpful is "File System Forensic Analysis" by Brian Carrier.
This book is useful for any Windows developer, even if you are not going to be developing device drivers or other kernel-mode programs.
For example, the information in this book was very helpful for an Outlook Add-In that I developed recently. |
a "must read" for high level sysadmins
| Customer Rating: | Maybe half of the world is using Microsoft windows, administering, troubleshooting etc. Everybody know how to click(and maybe know which one) the checkbox, but less than 0.1% knows what is hapening inside, "deep in the water". How data is passed from your program too network interface, or to disk drive? This book will giva many answers, but not all. And unfortunately, as I know, maybe this book is the only one in the world about this subject(if I am wrong, please correct me). It is not an easy reading, you have to know something more about operating systems to understand it. But to cover most of the windows, it should have 2 volumes and 2000 pages. I kindly ask Mr Russinovich and Microsoft to publish more book like this.
This book is not about active directory or how to recipes. It is about kernel, I/o subsistem, memory, etc. Read the content(search inside). About windows inside, i know only one other book, Inside windows storage, but this is about only one segment of windows, and not so deep.(but also good read for "brave" sysadmins) |
The architecture "bible".
| Customer Rating: | As a former Microsoft technical lead who was a part of the "core" Enterprise server support team I will tell you that this is the one book that is (still) handed out to all new members of our team!
Within Microsoft server support this book is the architecture "bible".
Also David and Mark's elegant shareware tools were also the only 3rd party tools that were sanctioned for recommendation to Microsoft customers.
This book is the defacto standard for all things relating to Windows architecture. Not always an easy read, but if you are persistent and just keep re-reading (which is what I had to do for a long time!) eventually it will sink in, and when it does you will understand (and appreciate) Windows on a very low level.
Highly recommended!
