Microsoft announces that it has launched a dedicated Twitter feed for its anti-piracy enforcement team. Despite attempts by Microsoft and other IT companies to curb piracy, often through aggressive policies, a recent report by McAfee suggests that the rate of file-sharing sites hosting unauthorized content has been rising steadily in the past few months.

Windows Internals 5th Edition

in Microsoft

Mark Russinovich announced the availability of the 5th Edition of Windows Internals.

It’s been a long road, but a writing a book of this scope is an incredibly detailed endeavor. This new edition covers Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit) and besides revisions and enhancements to existing content, adds an additional 250 pages, bringing the total page count to over 1200 (25% longer than the previous edition). Besides new experiments highlighting the Sysinternals tools, new topics covered include Hyper-V, the image loader, debugging infrastructure, Kernel Transaction Manager, Code Integrity, Thread Pools, Mandatory Integrity Controls, Windows Driver Framework, and Bitlocker, to name a few.

Russinovich and David Solomon speak about the book and their history of collaboration in a Channel 9 interview recorded a couple of weeks ago.

Russinovich has another thing to share, a video that made him laugh out loud when he saw it. “You’ve angered the great Master Russinovich!”
Made by the Windows marketing team as part of the Talking About Windows campaign.
