Appendix

Windows 7

Updated by Dave Probert


The Microsoft Windows 7 operating system is a 32-/64-bit preemptive mul-
titasking client operating system for microprocessors implementing the Intel
IA-32 and AMD64 instruction set architectures (ISAs). Microsoft’s corresponding
server operating system, Windows Server 2008 R2, is based on the same code
as Windows 7 but supports only the 64-bit AMD64 and IA64 (Itanium) ISAs.
Windows 7 is the latest in a series of Microsoft operating systems based on its
NT code, which replaced the earlier systems based on Windows 95/98. In this
chapter, we discuss the key goals of Windows 7, the layered architecture of the
system that has made it so easy to use, the file system, the networking features,
and the programming interface.

Bibliographical Notes

[Russinovich et al. (2017)] provides an overview of Windows 7 and consider-


able technical detail about system internals and components. [Brown (2000)]
presents details of the security architecture of Windows.
The Microsoft Developer Network Library (http://msdn.microsoft.com)
supplies a wealth of information on Windows and other Microsoft products,
including documentation of all the published APIs.
[Iseminger (2000)] provides a good reference on the Windows Active Direc-
tory. Detailed discussions of writing programs that use the Win32 API appear
in [Richter (1997)].
The source code for a 2005 WRK version of the Windows kernel, together
with a collection of slides and other CRK curriculum materials, is available from
www.microsoft.com/WindowsAcademic for use by universities.
