Windows Internals : The Implementation of the Windows Operating Environment (The Andrew Schulman Programming Series)

Rating:
Summary: Outdated but still valuable
Review: I have recently bought and finished reading this book. This book covers the internals of the windows 3.11 (16bit) operating system. Because windows 3.11 does not use most of today's PC technology, the ia32 architecture, protected mode kernel/application enviroment, some of the materials are really not relevant any more. However, the mechanism and the design of the windows 3.11 is still very relevant to help understand modern operating systems such as Windows NT/2000 and even Linux. Matt is an outstanding windows developer and his understanding of the windows internals still helps.
