Windows Internals 6th Edition, Part 1: We’re excited to announce that Part 1 of Windows Internals, 6th Edition, is now available for order in hard copy and multiple ebook formats. This edition, like previous ones, makes heavy use of the Sysinternals to demonstrate key concepts. It covers Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and the amount of new material required splitting the book into two volumes (Part 2 will be available soon). The first volume includes system concepts; architecture overview; system mechanisms; management mechanisms; processes, threads and jobs; security; and networking.
