Speaking of Windows Internals, you must have heard of it as long as you are interested in the Windows architectures and internals. For it is committed to the underlying mechanism, it won't cover all Windows contents, such as Windows window management, graphics, COM/COM+, .NET, etc. If you are willing to know more about Windows underlying principle, then this book is very suitable to you.

The fourth edition of Windows Internals mainly refers to technologies of Windows XP & Window Server 2003; While its fifth edition is much thicker than the 4th edition (increased close to 300 pages), and turned its main object to Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008; Finally, the latest one is its 6th edition covering Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2.

At last, AppNee wants to remind everybody: Windows Internals, Fifth Edition is positioning guys who have profound Windows underlying knowledge, in order to effectively improve their technical levels. But if you give it to a programmer just gets started or has no clear understanding to Windows internals or core components, then this book is almost worthless for him to read. This just made its essential content and AppNee recommends that all programmers who are interested in the underlying techniques of Windows should carefully taste all essence in this book.
