Garbage Collection Internals

Ever wondered what's the whole fuss about Garbage Collection? Ever confused what the Garbage Collector actually does and how it does what it does?!? Yeah - I've been there too. I found these 2 excellent articles on MSDN on GC (actually just one - in 2 parts) which gives a significant insight into the workings of GC. I found them pretty interesting - learnt quite a bit out of them. At first, you usually don't care about GC and stuff - you're more concerned about your syntax, that your program compiles and actually does what you are expecting it to do :) However, further down the road, its always good to know a little bit more which'll give you a better idea of exactly whats going on. Here are the links:

Hope you like them as much as I did..or else..well..you can curse me for wasting your precious time ;-)
