Microsoft buys Sysinternals
For years, one of my favorite places to go for very useful free utilities was Sysinternals.com. Mark Russinovitch and Bryce Cogswell provided all sorts of nice little programs for system administration and management as well as commercial programs. Both are real experts on the inner workings of the various versions of Windows. Russinovitch has just announced that they have been bought by Microsoft. I don’t know, of course, what that means about all those nice free programs but I have my doubts. From a selfish point of view, I wish that these two had stayed independent. But I can’t blame them for taking the opportunity and I wish them well. They’ll be a big asset to Microsoft.
