That‘s a very nice writeup, I like the style. The mix of text to illustrations/memes was really pleasent. I have my reservations about the RISC/CISC nomenclature but I guess that‘s „each to their own“ >.>

As someone who has spent some time figuring out how parts of the kernels work I can sympathize with the pain it probably was (but well worth it given the article imo).

For NT, I think that Windows Internals covers a lot about the stuff one wants to know and Microsoft‘s documentation is also not bad (certainly better than Linux‘s kernel docs imo); it‘s a really good starting point.

For more info about Windows I can recommend gamehacking forums/resources. There‘s a lot of filtering needed but they are a pretty good source of info for niche things sometimes.

As a last note, I noticed that the font of some code blocks are pretty large when viewed on my smartphone making them hard to read (e.g. Ch. 6/main.c)

Way too remind me that I‘m getting old lol
