Windows Internals 6

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

Just noticed on Amazon that the new 6th edition of Windows Internals is planned for the next year and so I pre-ordered my copy. According to publication data it will now be released in parts: Windows Internals, Part 1: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

However, the first part seems to be voluminous: more than 1,300 pages and it makes my job to finish writing Windows Internals Distilled (ISBN: 978-1906717247) difficult than ever :-) Moreover, I will probably need to restart my Windows Internals reading notes on Software Generalist blog.
