Ever since Mark Russinovich started a Sysinternals blog, I have loved reading the information he posts over there. He’s had a series of posts lately about registry polling by poorly written software. The detail with which he digs in is so simple, but elegant that you can’t help appreciate and know that they know their code-fu. I love their tools, especially Process Explorer and couldn’t imagine troubleshooting on Windows without such awesome freeware.

Sorry for gushing, but I’m just constantly amazed at what these guys (Mark & Bryce) do.
