Synopsis

Delve inside Windows architecture and internals―and see how core components work behind the scenes. Led by three renowned internals experts, this classic guide is fully updated for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2―and now presents its coverage in two volumes.

As always, you get critical insider perspectives on how Windows operates. And through hands-on experiments, you’ll experience its internal behavior firsthand―knowledge you can apply to improve application design, debugging, system performance, and support.

In Part 2, you’ll examine:

• Core subsystems for I/O, storage, memory management, cache manager, and file systems
• Startup and shutdown processes
• Crash-dump analysis, including troubleshooting tools and techniques
