Sysinternals/Winternals Purchased By Microsoft

I’m somewhat disconcerted to see that Microsoft has added Sysinternals and Winternals to its borg collective. I would recommend downloading anything that you might need NOW! Before they are taken offline and absorbed.

I’m very pleased to announce that Microsoft has acquired Winternals Software and Sysinternals. Bryce Cogswell and I founded both Winternals and Sysinternals (originally NTInternals) back in 1996 with the goal of developing advanced technologies for Windows. We’ve had an incredible amount of fun over the last ten years working on a wide range of diverse products such as Winternals Administrator’s Pak, Protection Manager, Defrag Manager, and Recovery Manager, and the dozens of Sysinternals tools, including Filemon, Regmon and Process Explorer, that millions of people use every day for systems troubleshooting and management. There’s nothing more satisfying for me than to see our ideas and their implementation have a positive impact.

At least I can say best of luck to Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. They have earned that parking spot 😀
