Well, Tanenbaum _is_ a university level text. There's no architecture in
windows to speak of, so I'd not waste my time trying to understand it.
As to unix, there's the daemon book, now in FreeBSD edition. Don't know
about a newer version of the Lions book, altough undoubtedly there'll be
Solaris architecture manuals around.


4) Networking (that would be the ISO stack and TCP/IP -- I guess a
refresher of X.25 and SNA is no longer needed)

Tanenbaum (on networking) is good here also, then add the apropriate
RFCs. Programming -- Stevens, still, altough there is an updated edition.
