REFERENCE BOOK Windows Internals Book 4th Edition (Faculty Resource Center) Microsoft Windows Internals, 4th Edition describes how the core components of the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems work internally, including support for 64-bit systems. With this knowledge, computer scientists can better comprehend the rationale behind design choices in operating systems, understand the performance behavior of the system, debug complex problems, and troubleshoot system problems.
