I came home today and found a wonderful gift on my door step.
Amazon.com: Windows® Internals: Including Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, Fifth Edition (PRO-Developer) (9780735625303): Mark Russinovich, David A. Solomon, Alex Ionescu: Books
I was just wondering if any one here has read this book (or an earlier edition) and what the most interesting thing they learned was.

So it's already out of date for 2008 R2 and Win7?
I know Astorrs raved about the 4th edition. I've been wanting to check these out; I just haven't had time. -

Yes, it's an amazing book and it's flipping huge. I'm currently study ing SQL Server 2008 Internals and I got this book more for supporting that.
Amazon.com: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Internals (Pro - Developer) (9780735626249): Kalen Delaney, Paul S. Randal, Kimberly L. Tripp, Conor Cunningham, Adam Machanic: Books
That book is just as amazing. I'm only able to read about 7-10 pages per day due to the way I take notes http://lsc.sas.cornell.edu/Sidebars/Study_Skills_Resources/cornellsystem.pdf
I find myself recording nearly every sentence in the damn book. I'm still working on the first chapter but the relationships I am learning about between the components of SQL Server are really helping me understand certain aspects that I had only a vague grasp of before.
