Get system information with Windows Inspection Tool Set

Windows Inspection Tool Set (WiTS) is an open-source utility that consolidates all kinds of information about your system into one central location with an intuitive user interface. Thanks to WiTS, you won't have to dig around the innards of your file system - or try to remember what to type at the command line - in order to find the information you need. In addition to eliminating the hassle of dozens of built-in Windows tools, WiTS offers additional functionality, such as the ability to terminate TCP connections.

WiTS runs seamlessly in the background until you need it. When you do need it, the interface is snappy and responsive. (I'm interested to hear how it performs on older systems, though - so, readers, feel free to add your feedback.) And, of course, the fact that it's open source is enough to make any geek happy.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
