Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Microsoft Windows 2000 internals have a very logical structure. In Inside Microsoft Windows 2000, David Solomon and Mark Russinovich explain what goes on behind the curtain as Windows 2000 manages memory, regulates access to input and output devices, controls persistent storage, communicates with the network, and does the rest of its duties as a modern operating system. This is a text for programmers, and it's packed with call-by-call documentation of what happens when Windows 2000 is told to perform various operations. There's not as much code in this book as you might expect--mostly, it's text. Once you have the architecture figured out, you should be able to implement your code more easily.

The chapter on memory management exemplifies this careful approach to Windows 2000 internals. What memory management does is discussed (it maps the virtual memory range of threads into registers on physical devices, and handles overflow from volatile memory onto disk). Then, you learn the more obvious ways of observing and tweaking memory performance (the Performance tab in Task Manager and the Registry). Finally, you get detailed information on how Windows 2000 handles mapping, and the use of dozens of memory-related Win32 API calls. --David Wall

Topics covered: The Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system kernel and its internal operations; the specific behaviors of various subsystems, including memory management, threading, security, caching, and network communications.

4.0 out of 5 stars clear and interesting, but some things are left out
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2002
This book is interesting for people who want to learn about what goes on under the hood of Windows 2000. The authors' style is clear and easy to understand and there is a good wealth of precious, in depth information.
It would have been even better if more details were included: some system mechanisms are mentioned, but the details are left out (particularly on LPCs). Also, the book is not oriented toward experimenting with the system by means of writing kernel mode code: nearly all of the experiments are based on the usage of tools. I think the book could have had room for something more if a number of pages of data structures listing (returned by Kd commands) were left out, particularly since these listings have very few comments and therefore add very little to what everyone can get from the debugger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comprehensive overview
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2000
When I first heard that Russinovich was teaming with Solomon to do the 3rd edition of this book, I knew the potential of what this book could be. Now that I have it, I can firmly say that it surpasses every one of my expectations.
Solomon and Russinovich do a great job covering all grounds well. Topics range from the extremely low level of boot process, device drivers, exceptions, and page tables to the high level structures of the object manager, file systems, and cache management.
Odd topics such as networking and security complete the discussion. This book is an excellent complement to Richter's Programming Applications book, with very little overlapping content. It is so complete, in fact, that it could almost be used as a blueprint to clone Windows, if one so desired.
This book is very light on code and very heavy on diagrams and tables. It is so clearly written that turning the information into usable code should be a breeze.
If I had to complain, there is a lack of native application discussion. But this is pushing it, as the sysinternals web site is included on CD and includes this material.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2000 Systems Programming at its best!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2001
As a former systems programmer on Burroughs (Unisys) systems, I was always used to knowing how the OS did things. It is a real treat after working on PCs for so long, to finally get a book that makes it interesting to learn the internals again. This book is full of things that will give you an appreciation of any OS, but the way it cracks into the guts of 2000 is great. The experiments in this book make it really easy to learn how 2000 is organized and apply it to existing programming projects. Learning 2000 from the inside via the debugger is just a great way to do it. No offense to David, but Mark's influence is obvious. If you are a fan of his Internals column, you will like this book even better. The fact that he does it without source code is even more amazing. Wait a minute...why hasn't Microsoft paid these guys whatever they want to build the next version of 2000?
If you appreciate a good OS and an even better manual on it...Buy This Book...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dream Team (David & Mark)
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2001
I got this book 6 days ago, and I've read chapter 1 - 7 so far, the way these two gods explain and show how the internal win 2000 system works is just impressive. If you have read Inside Windows NT 2nd edition by Daveid A Solomon, you know what you are up for, David teamed up with a crazy russian Mark Russinovich which has practically made Windows NT (2000) Magazine worth reading. ;)
The only thing I'd love to see in the future is a little more coverage of the terminal services part of it. (2 pages isn't enough), and maybe a little more deep hands on experiments. All handson experiements seems to be pretty much "overview and simple". But you can't have it all, this nearly 1000 page book is like a design document for NT/2000. >=]
But no doubt, if you develop NT tools or sysadmin NT network this book is a *MUST*! If you don't have it, HURRY UP AND BUY IT NOW!
Also, remember to visit [...] for the best utils for NT. (And maybe the most stable ones. ;))

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written book
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2000
I bought this book to supplement my knowledge on OS implementations and more immediate to understand better programming technicues found in Jeffrey Richter book. The book covers wide variaty of issues from logon to cache manager. Some chapters written excellent like thread scheduling and interrupt handling, while others are barely readable. Memory management chapter is far from being clear, so is cache manager. The security chapter could contain more material. Another issue is chapter order, I believe memory management chapter should be sooner. Chapters are too tight connected, sometimes you need to read chapters in parallel to understand. But, if you already familiar with windows programming on advanced level this book is good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for any Windows Develepor
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2001
This book explains windows 2000 internal workings in reasonable breadth and sufficient depth. This book is MUCH better than the 2nd Edition of Inside Windows NT, perhaps because of Mark's contributions.
The only problem with this book is that, inspite of being huge, it is only one volume. I think Windows 2000 is too extensive to fit in one book, and though the book is great for getting at many of the principles, you need to look at the DDK/SDK documentation to get more details, and actually use them in your work. At this level the book provides a great starting point to delve into OS internals, but perhaps someone needs to write a book for each chapter to do justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is a good book, but not very good
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2003
I have interest in mechanism of microsoft windows 2000/NT, since windows isn't a free OS, I have to read books instead of source code. The book is a famous one focused on system mechanism of win2k,I read it, sure, I got much knowledge from it,but I find it's a little mussy, and not very clear, it's also not detailed enough to understand microsoft win2k/NT.
The book "Understanding the Linux Kernel" By Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati is much better than this one.
