How is replacing http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/SysinternalsSuite.mspx with http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspx in any way an improvement? Before we had a URL you could recognize just by looking at it. It was easy to find in history lists and files. You could even say it or type it easily, if you had to. Now we have what is essentially opaque data.
