@tlogank:That shows your ignorance. Just because you have no interest in it in no way reflects what other people think. That should be obvious, eh?Personally this article has topped my morning digg favorites because it packs a LOT of useful, not-very-obvious information. It's an absolute must read for any programmer designing complex software that deals with any sort of media or database. If M$ employees had read this when they first started writing windows, it wouldn't have all the security issues it has.Thanks bonlebon for posting this!

Just to clarify my above post; the methodologies in this book even apply to windows programming.
