The book that you now hold in your hands is the result of the collective effort of many people.

We would also like to thank Tito Leverette for his guidance on and contributions to Chapter 17, “Performance and Tuning.”

Many other teams in Microsoft provided technical reviews and shared their experience and insights. In particular, we are grateful to Tom Hawthorn of the Windows Performance team, as well as George Holman and the whole Microsoft.com Operations team. Nick McCollum of Quixtar Inc. also helped with technical reviews and suggestions in Chapters 5, 15, and 17.

In addition, we would like to thank Susan Chory and Isaac Roybal for helping us to get this project off the ground. We are also grateful to Simon Brown and Arvindra Sehmi for their encouragement for this work.

Thanks to everyone!
