Sysinternals now Windows Sysinternals

Windows SysinternalsWe all knew this day was coming. Back in July we reported that Microsoft had acquired Winternals Software, its free Windows utility site Sysinternals, and its founder Mark Russinovich. After a longer wait than I'd have expected, Microsoft has relaunched the site in its own image as Windows Sysinternals. I'm not sure if the entire Sysinternals library has made the transition to the new site, but it is still chock full of free utilities for Windows developers, power users, and IT folks.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
