I always considered the purchase of System Internals to be what Bill and Dave did to grow Hewlett and Packard and what John Chambers did for Cisco. They bought innovative technology from companies not yet surrounded by large structures - to fill gaps in their company product line.
Microsoft basically had no useful analysis tools for Windows. System Internals are informative tools.
That spaghetti code is a symptom of poor planning at the architect's level. Is probably why the head of Windows was removed because of Vista's development. Are Russinovich and Cogwell working as architects for Microsoft Windows?
