Deterministic Finalization

Updated: Changed title to reflect the series instead of just the first article

I just stumbled across Andy Rich's blog (I can't remember which blog I got it from -- apologies to the author.) In it he has an excellent series on Deterministic Finalization:

Deterministic Finalization I - a primer for CLR Dispose

Deterministic Finalization II - The C++ DF Model

Deterministic Finalization III - Benefits, part 1

Deterministic Finalization IV - Benefits, part II
