Microsoft Acquires Winternals and Sysinternals


Recommended Posts

"In a move that will be good for Redmond but may have consequences for the rest of us, Microsoft has acquired Winternals and Sysinternals. This gives them well-known developers Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell as well as dozens of well-loved and much-praised utilities, both commercial and freeware. Though Mark says on his blog that the Sysinternals site will remain 'for the time being,' this would be a good time to download the latest version of essential Windows tools like Process Explorer before they can go mysteriously missing or be locked up behind the wall of Windows Genuine Advantage."

 

I live for these apps...it's gonna blow when they are gone.

Never used them, guess now is the time to try them out!!!

Dont make me put you in the n00b pool.

 

My thumb drive is full of these misc utils to combat/troubleshoot anything. Process Explorer and Autoruns are the best of their kind. I run Process Explorer on my second monitor to see wtf apps/games are doing with my cpu/mem.
