I was one of the many people who worried that their toolset would be put under lock and key, but I would like to think that if they signed any deal with MS, keeping their free tools free would be a provision of the deal.

Other than the Inside and Out books, the Winternals books are my favorite. Good for them!

I’m surprised the Geeks had the knowledge to even use the tools. I thought all they did was formatted and reinstalled. (From personal experience with my customers.)
Glad to see Mark and Bryce make out. I hope we don’t lose their expertise.

I’m happy for Mark and Bryce, but I’m worried about the utilities. I use the free versions of Filemon, Process Explorer, Regmon, Autoruns, TDImon and the PSTools utilities almost every day. They’re too useful to either screw up or put behind a pay wall.
