Maybe it's just me but when I glance at the cover it looks like the book is about Windows 7 Internals only. I'm wondering how many others would think the same when seeing it on a bookshelf. It looks like the same layout was used for the 6th edition, I want to suggest the use of a different layout for the next editions.

#12What's the modern equivalent for the Linux kernel these days?
https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/... is very good, as is https://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-iOS-Internals-Apples/dp/111805...
Amit Singh's book on MacOS is quite interesting, too. But gtirloni did ask about Linux, for which neither MacOS book is really appropriate.

It does look as if the title is Windows 7 Internals. Note that it was the preceding edition that covered Windows 7 (Windows NT 6.1). This edition has been updated to cover Windows NT 10.

Not the way I read it - it is "Windows Internals - 7 (seventh edition)". It is not even ambiguous IMHO because "7" is not vertically aligned with "Windows". But at a glance, yeah, someone could misunderstand it...

#15> Surface Aggregator Module (SAM) Internals - a little chip on your Surface Pro/Laptop/Book that you probably didn’t know was there Nobody on the Internet seems to know what it is (based on my 5 minutes of looking). Does anyone on HN know?
Based on this[1] tweet, "System Aggregator Module" firmware on Surface Pro is similar to Macbook's "System Management Controller"[2].

You can't say it's not ambigous if you're replying to two persons that found it confusing. :) I also read Windows 7 Internals, for one.

It's like the worst Java naming patterns (FactoryControlerBridgeAdapterManagerAdapter), but in hardware.

I guess if you only look at books at a glance, you are not the target market for this one anyway.. ;)
