Actually I just ordered both books (and also "Inside COM+ Base Services"),
so I'll have it in case anyone needs info.
But it'll take some 4 to 8 weeks (ground shipping).

And about Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference:
AFAIK it is said to be very good and to contain lots of undocumented API
things.
www.google.com ""Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference" review" should help
a lot :-)

At least I know that review(s) are good, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
