Seventh edition changes
Since this book¡¯s last update, Windows has gone through several releases, coming up to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. Windows 10 itself, being the current going forward name for Windows, has had several releases since its initial release to manufacturing (RTM). Each is labeled with a four-digit version number indicating the year and month of release, such as Windows 10, version 1703, which was completed in March 2017. This implies that Windows has gone through at least six versions since Windows 7 (at the time of this writing).
Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft began a process of OS convergence, which is beneficial from a development perspective as well as for the Windows engineering team. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 had converged kernels, with modern app convergence arriving in Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. The convergence story was complete with Windows 10, which runs on desktops/laptops, servers, XBOX One, phones (Windows Mobile 10), HoloLens, and various Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
With this grand unification completed, the time was right for a new edition of the series, which could now finally catch up with almost half a decade of changes in what will now be a more stable kernel architecture going forward. As such, this latest book covers aspects of Windows from Windows 8 to Windows 10, version 1703. Additionally, this edition welcomes Pavel Yosifovich as its new co-author.
