I have to dissagree becuase with the withdrawl of the sourcecode from all of
the sysinternals utilities how can other developers innovate their products with
sysinternals? Instead Microsoft, as usual, guards the source code and forces
the developer or company to pay Microsoft to get the sourcecode.
When sysinternals used to be alone it made its sourcecode freely available to
anyone who wished to use it but now since that sysinternals is exclusive
property of Microsoft they nixed the free sourcecode givaway. To me this is
the "many feared for the worst" aspect that I don't like.
