Not sure if this should be here but Microsoft has bought off Wininternals, Sysinternals. Details can be found at http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2006/07/o...-microsoft.html

i think ms needs to buy sysinternal because they want to employ the expert regarding the securities.,

It seems that on that blog there are more congratz rather than flames
Anyway, this should be a good move for a one step forward for Microsoft

Personally I think this is a good thing. At least this seems to me like Microsoft is buying to improve it's own product line and not buying to eliminate competition. Let's hope the task manager will be replaced by process explorer in the future

but the drawback is will they take off all those free & nifty proggie

there is always freewares for those neat small softwares

And there's word around that vista's gonna be more vulnerable than our old XP here. they wrote new codes which means, bugs and holes. It's not based on the XP at all. hmmmm.

new codes=more holes.
wait for vista sp1, it will have many patches for dangerous holes, all vista users must patch sp1 immediately.

(after 1 year) vista sp2 release, all users must patch asap, it closes more dangerous holes.

Rinse and Repeat.

There isn't a perfect coding for every softwares...
We should expect bugs and glitches for the new version.
