Well, hopefully those guys will be able to carry on doing good things at Microsoft, and continue to push out greaat system tools, and maybe some of that will find it's way into Windows itself.

I'm more anxious to see what happens with the software produced through Winternals.  Particularly ERD commander - it's been an invaluable tool for server recovery in the past - sure there are other tools out there like BartPE, but ERD Commander is just so quick and easy to use, and comes with some fantastic options for recovering a non-bootable system, both for a server and a desktop.

Now, Microsoft have never really produced much in the way of unbootable-system recovery software - will ERD commander dissapear?  I certainly hope not, i'd like to think Microsoft will continue to develop it and make it available for free (pleaaaaase!).
