Summary: Excellent comprehensive overview
Comment: 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.

Summary: clear and interesting, but some things are left out
Comment: 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.
