The fifth edition of this book differs from the fourth edition in many ways. There are large numbers of small changes everywhere to bring the material up to date as operating systems are not standing still. For example, where the previous edition focused almost exclusively on magnetic hard disks for storage, this time we give the flash-based Solid State Drives (SSDs) the attention that befits their popularity. The chapter on Windows 8.1 has been replaced entirely by a chapter on the new Windows 11. We hav e rewritten much of the security chapter, with more focus on topics that are directly relevant for operating systems (and exciting new attacks and defenses), while reducing the discussion of cryptography and steganography.
