Thank God, it looks like Microsoft isn’t like Symantec! Back in 2006, when Microsoft bought out software vendor Sysinternals (now Windows Sysinternals), many expressed their anxiety about the future of the Sysinterals product development and whether Microsoft was out to kill the good stuff the company did. NeoSmart Technologies refrained from joining in the discussion back then, and we’re glad we did.
Unlike Symantec, who have a multiple-volume history of buying out the competition and putting them to sleep (anyone remember LC4, PartitionMagic, Sygate, GoBack, and Co.?) after a name change, should appreciate that Microsoft hasn’t done the same. Today Microsoft announced the launch of Process Monitor v1.1.
