Review title: In-depth coverage of the Windows Core
Product review: This book does a good job of walking you through the internals of threads, synchronization, memory, and the IO manager. However, it does NOT cover bus-related driver technologies (PCI, USB, 1394, ...). A good book to understand the Windows core, but I would have liked some USB and PCI internals to help driver developers produce higher quality USB and PCI drivers. A "theory" book that I will read once and refer back to infrequently. After reading it once, you can find much of what you need in the WDM header files or WinDBG.
