Dated but very thorough.

One reading of this book, and I could appreciate the complexity, of the very PC I am typing this review from, more with a renewed interest in these principles. Needless to say, it is very helpful in technical aspects as well. :)

Excellent conceptual coverage of the topic. Must read for all IT professionals who want a understanding of innards of a operating system.
