[22:41] Sysinternals Got Bought!
Wow, Microsoft bought Sysinternals on July 18 and I completely failed to notice until now! This was around about the time I was busy getting married and moving and not having internet access so I guess that's probably why.
Looks like Mark is still happy to document his discoveries though and all the old freeware tools are still available here, which is nice! Looks like there're also plans afoot to roll a lot of stuff into something called the Diagnostic And Recovery Toolset (possibly just a rebadged Winternals package) early next year. Hopefully having these guys on the inside will mean less problems occur outside 'cause they've already hammered on things before they get to the public arena. It should also mean that the OS will have a lot more useful CLI features shipping with it by default (I hope).
