Windows OS Architecture Book

Hi, I have a background in programming and have done a little .NET but I feel that I would benefit from improving my understanding of the Windows Architecture. Can anyone recomend a good book that discusses the Windows Operating System from a technical perspactive, particulary it's architecture/design and how it works. Im not looking for a huge technical manual, just looking to get a general appreciation of how Windows works.

Thanks.

Thanks for the links, a good set of resources. I particularly like the Wikibook at the last link.
