We all knew this day was coming. Back in July we reported that Microsoft had
acquired Winternals Software, its free Windows utility site Sysinternals, and its founder Mark Russinovich. After a longer wait than I'd have expected, Microsoft has relaunched the site in its own image as
Windows Sysinternals. I'm not sure if the entire Sysinternals library has made the transition to the new site, but it is still chock full of free utilities for Windows developers, power users, and IT folks. In addition, Windows Sysinternals has
its own blog now, and Russinovich has also continued to blog under Microsoft's wing at his new
TechNet blog.

Assimilation complete.

The SysInternals tools have saved my life many a times so it great to see them officially become part of Windows. The tools are certainly worthy of replacing many of the original (and now outdated) Microsoft equivalents and fill quite a few gaps.

Unfortunately, one of the effects of assimilation is that Microsoft has stopped distributing the source code to those SysInternals utilities.
