It's Mark Russinovich !!! Its really a nice book, which drills down to the in-depths of Windows
Rating: - Excellent technical reference
I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a very detailed analysis of Windows XP/2000/2003. It's so good, I've already ordered Windows® Internals: Including Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, Fifth Edition (PRO-Developer).
I found the content to be rich and detailed. It tells how the Microsoft operating system functions on different levels and goes into detail on how to use specific tools to examine what's happening.

I bought this book to learn about NT file system design. I found almost everything that I needed. Another book I found very helpful is "File System Forensic Analysis" by Brian Carrier.
This book is useful for any Windows developer, even if you are not going to be developing device drivers or other kernel-mode programs.
For example, the information in this book was very helpful for an Outlook Add-In that I developed recently.
Rating: - a "must read" for high level sysadmins

And unfortunately, as I know, maybe this book is the only one in the world about this subject(if I am wrong, please correct me). It is not an easy reading, ... Read More
Rating: - The architecture "bible".
As a former Microsoft technical lead who was a part of the "core" Enterprise server support team I will tell you that this is the one book that is (still) handed out to all new members of our team!
Within Microsoft server support this book is the architecture "bible".
Also David and Mark's elegant shareware tools were also the only 3rd party tools that were sanctioned for recommendation to Microsoft customers.
