I'm applying for a development position at a company that uses MS products exclusively. To prepare myself for the interview I'd like to have a better grasp of how Windows works under the hood. I am familiar with windows as an end-user, I know where stuff gets installed, the registry and have some basic command line skills. But when searching online for an overview of how Windows actually works, I have come up empty handed. I see the COM thing coming up here and there, and how in comparison most(if not all) *nix variants are of the "everything is a file" paradigm.
So how does Windows(8/10) do its business compared to unix/gnu linux
Thanks!
