Sysinternals is a good package of free tools that has now been acquired by Microsoft ..  not sure If this is a good thing or a bad thing……

Microsoft on Tuesday said it has bought Winternals Software, a small maker of Windows utility programs, in a deal the software behemoth hopes will add key technical talent to its operating system development team.

As part of the deal, the software maker is naming Winternals co-founder Mark Russinovich as a technical fellow. Among the software Winternals offers is a set of freely downloadable tools known as Sysinternals.

In buying Winternals, Microsoft is getting the company’s free tools, its Sysinternals community website as well as several paid-for software products for businesses. However, it appears Microsoft made the deal, in large part, to hire the company’s two co-founders.
