From this month's TechNet Flash, it looks like the Sysinternals guys are still churning out some of the best free tools in the business:

From time to time, I like to toot the Sysinternals horn not only because the popular site showcases an awesome collection of system utilities, but also because it is updated so often with great new utilities. For instance, if you haven't checked back since mid-October, you will notice the new Handle v3.30 utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. Recent new additions also include BgInfo v4.11, which automatically displays relevant information about a Windows computer on the desktop's background, such as the computer name, IP address, and service pack version; ZoomIt v1.71, a screen zoom and annotation tool for technical presentations that include application demonstrations; and Process Monitor v1.25, an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, registry, and process/thread activity. To find all the utilities and resources and to read Mark Russinovich's blog, check out the Windows Sysinternals home page.
