Another changes

No, I’m not talking about new WP theme on this blog (do You like it?). This week not only in 37signals were changes.

This time I’m talking about Winternals (http://www.winternals.com/). They are (were) “responsible” for Sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/) source of great tools for Windows. This tools make Windows much more usable and manageable. For free, however not for commercial use (You are supposed not to support customers with this tools). Mark Russinovich, who was co-owner of Winternals, have proven extraordinary Windows internals knowledge, and seems natural for both sides to go together.

I will be missing Sysinternal’s tools, since I’m pretty sure MS will abandon most of them, and even old versions download will be not available. On the other hand, with Mark in MS Platform and Services Division Windows may become much better… Especially with security (do You remember Sony’s rootkit? Mark was one who made thing public) I hope he will could create tools at least or even better when working without full access to Windows guts… Good luck Mark!
