Handle table? win2k internals doc?

On the off chance that MSVC6's installer is cheating
and reading the handle table entries directly by
dereferencing file handles, I started wondering whether
wine needed to make all its handles look a bit more like
windows handles.

What's the best source of info about how Windows formats
its handles and arranges its handle table?

"Inside Microsoft Windows 2000"
by David A. Solomon and Mark Russinovich
http://www.sysinternals.com/insidew2k.shtml
seems like a good source of info.  Is it worth the $35
for a budding wine hacker?

The Windows 2000 DDK is probably a good source,
http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/W2kDDK.asp
but for some reason,
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000ddk/install/combined-8-00/nt5/en-us/win2kddk.exe
is a broken link.
