Congrats on getting the book released. I received it yesterday, it's officially the thickest book I own (in terms of dimensions, not page count) except for the New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary. :)

I'm looking forward to digging in. Keep up the good work!

I've pre-ordered this book in the end of 2008-th. Nice to hear I'll get it in a few days.

Already ready to pre-order 6th edition :)

Congrats for getting the book out! I think I'll wait for 6th edition though, to get Win 7 coverage. Hope you can get that out by the year's end. :)

Congratulations. I hope it's in the corp store for TechReady9 :).

I also hope you already started working on the next edition, since R2 and W7 are just around the corner :)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for a great work! I already got my copy.

Had three copies pre-ordered since 2008. I'm very pleased with the book, but somewhat disappointed that it did not cover Windows 7, given its imminent release--I thought the additional time for the book was due to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. For some reason I feel I'll have to get a 6th edition to get up to date, even with the 99% compatibility guarantee.

Excellent work (I own the 4th edition). But what is the point of buying the 5th edition now if the 6th edition is right around the corner? I think it would be nice if buyers of the 5th edition could get some kind of discount on the 6th edition. Barring that, I think I will just wait the extra couple of months.

I assume the book has now reached its working set maximum, so that the addition of material about Windows 7 will cause other material to be evicted.

Besides, you have to collect the set! (I'm missing the 2nd ed.)

By the way, Mark et. al. - thanks for your efforts on the various editions of this book.

Wishing there was a electronic version of the book, its too big to carry around as I travel and I would like to be able to search it quickly.

Hey Mark,

Any chance we'll be able to get a PDF version in the future? I love this reference and would love to be able to search it online!

Mark and David are my virtual Gurus(The original Indian version of Guru means teacher - remember the word is seldom used for someone except with utmost respect!!!)..I went beyond my month's budget to buy this and I am the first buyer in the city's library - because I read through Inside 2K, 4th Ed and now am reading 5th...Looking for more such "research"...btw congratulations to Alex, he deserves as well as is lucky too to be a contributor to this compendium...

I also vote for a possibility to buy a PDF version only.

I bought the book a few days ago and it seems to be what I was looking for in a long time!

I am just interested to know how Windows 7 fits into this book? Is it possible to get an update describing Windows 7?

Thanks for the great book on Windows, finally

@dashesy:

From the post:

"However, 99% of the book applies directly to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, so you can get a jump start while we work on the 6th edition, which will add coverage of these new versions of Windows. We anticipate adding another 75-100 pages of content (and not making any significant changes to existing text) and are shooting to have the book completed by the end of the year."

"Alex now teaches Windows"

Now I understand why ReactOS development has stalled.

Too bad MSFT does not use all these talents to make better products. Crunching the competition to stay the only one will not survive the crisis.

When you see that TrustLeap *in user-space* is beating IIS *in the kernel* you understand how inefficient MSFT is at developing technologies.

Having spent 20 of my life with Windows, I am just sad.
