Get it while you can
I'll make this short and sweet.
Sysinternals knows a LOT about how windows works under the hood. So much so that MS bought the company. They claim that they wanted these "talented" individuals to work for them, but that sounds a bit fishy.
Anyway, if your running Windows and want some cool tools, I would archive these..

That is funny. My boss once had me run an app he said was necessary for our business. It was a prank app that showed a status dialog box that appeared to be deleting all of the files on your hard drive. Then it abruptly stopped, went blue, then threw up a picture of a monkey with a question similar to 'Don't you fell stupid?'. Yeah, that was loads of fun.

Hmmmm...can't find the tools I was interested in...
If I remember correctly it was more the source code I was after...
Back when doing Windows 98 development...and writing a profiling utility..I wanted to incorporate a bunch of kernel information...like how much CPU the process in which I was profiling was using...
I think they had a program for Windows 98 which did such a thing, so naturally after searching high and low and asking *everywhere* how this could be done...I finally came to the conclusion it wasn't possible under Windows 98 (The API became available with NT/XP)
So I was curious how the guys at sysinternals did it
B*stards are damn clever...cause I spent a better part of a month trying to figure it out...without resorting to writing a VxD
Clever guys thats for sure...
