The Sept/Oct 2014 issue of The NT Insider has been released.
You can download it from:

Of particular note is an excellent and insightful article by NTDEV community member Daniel Terhell on issues that affect real-time latency in Windows. Definitely a good read.
Also, if you’re not sure you understand WDF Sync Scope (or you’re SURE you’ve never understood WDF Sync Scope!) you’ll definitely appreciate the very detailed article on Understanding Sync Scope in WDF Drivers.
Enjoy,

A friendly sreminder:
There is no shame in ending an article mid-page and starting another article either on the page or on the next one. Breaking the articles to disjointed pages, on the other hand, is the thing I would not be proud of…
Thanks Mr. Grig. We always appreciate feedback.
We get this question/request a lot: “Why do you jump articles from the front of the publication to the back of the publication?”
The answer is, we want people to be able to PRINT the publication and have it “make sense”… we in fact still print The NT Insider for various purposes (for example, we hand it out hard copies in our seminars).
It is very difficult, from both the usability and aesthetic point of view, to lay out a publication like The NT Insider if it *only* contains contiguous articles. The result would be that articles buried in the back of the publication would be difficult to find. This is not good.
We’ve tried to strike a good balance between soft-copy and hard-copy usability. For example, in this latest issue, you’ll notice that article text is full page width (previously it was two columns) and when articles jump (that is, are continued on a distant page) we’ve tried to limit such jumps to one time only.
So that’s our story. The good news is that if you wait a few days, you’ll be able to read all the articles in HTML on OSR.COM (see http://www.osr.com/nt-insider/).
Keep those comments coming,

That’s the best news all month. Although PDFs are less of a hassle than they used to be, it’s still just so much more natural to read an article as a web page than as a PDF. At least for me.
Though I did find the code-formatted links on the front page amusing … (Couldn’t “wait a few days”, today was the best day to do a bit of lunchtime reading.)

I agree.
But for really LONG articles (like this issues article on Sync Scope) I still find I prefer printing the article and then reading it.
A web browser is just not a substitute for a Kindle, for me at least.
