Wow. Sysinternals has been acquired by Microsoft

There was a time where Microsoft was known for buying small startups that looked like some kind of threat or offered software pieces tightly binded to Windows (and most of all, popular) so that these could slowly be bundled with their software. Most of these software solutions ended up in oblivion or squashed in the process of building “better, faster and secure” applications (and I’m quoting). I just hope these guys have better luck today and achieve what they’re looking for, “making Windows an even better platform for all of us”. We all know what they’re capable of…
Go grab your copies of TCPView, Filemon, Regmon and Process Explorer while you can and save them to your USB pendrives. These utilities are priceless, a must have for every sysadmin and should have been part of the operating system from the dawn of ages.

(If you’re feeling in the mood for a practical joke, replace some default screensavers for BlueScreen too…)
