Ok , apparently most people here prefer strutting with their new supercool i3 conf on Gentarch and complaining about botnets on mainstream OS , but nobody wants to understand how they really work ?

I don't think enough has changed in the kernel to need a new windows internals book just yet

http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Book-User-Edition/dp/0735684189

7th edition is in the works.

"Azius principals Brian Catlin and Jamie Hanrahan have signed with Microsoft Press to write Windows Internals, 7th Edition, Book 1: "User Mode." The 7th edition will cover Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2. Book 1 will primarily cover user mode aspects (the internals of application support) and system management mechanisms. New coverage for the 7th edition will include .NET, graphics and the desktop, Windows RT, Windows Store applictions, and server management features, as well as expanded coverage of networking.

Books 2 and 3 are still in the planning stages, but our current plans are for Book 2 to cover kernel mode components and mechanisms, and Book 3, new for this edition, will describe the architecture and operation of the various Windows device driver models. "

Why would you want to learn about closed-down greedy spyware crap, when there is a free and superior OS that you can actually read the code and modify it.

kek, good bait
"Gentarch" almost made me laugh

Because it's the most used.
And most of softwares are designed to run on it.

>nothing much

Interresting, but It look like they just added all the crappy bullshits about Xbox stuff and Tablets.

Do you mean that windows 10 is just 7 with botnets???

That's not a reason itself. Justin Bieber is popular too, are you following his life?

I'm too lazy/dumb to argue, but i'm pretty sure your comparison isn't right.

It's actually quite important as a unified Windows kernel across all platforms is a huge part of MS future plans. They've managed to do this with Windows 10.

kek.

Why do you care about what other people do in their free time?

I am just informing him that learning "internals" of a closed down OS makes no sense when there is a viable alternative which is open and can be read and fully understood.

Raymond Chen is the man if you want to know obscure facts about Windows
