This is part two of Mark Russinovich’s three part series on the Windows Vista kernel. This month’s article focuses on memory management, startup and shutdown, and power management.

Last month, in the first installment of this three-part series, I looked at Windows Vista kernel enhancements in the areas of processes and I/O.

This time I’ll cover advances in the way Windows Vista manages memory, as well as major improvements to system startup, shutdown, and power management (Part 1).
