Originally, the Sysinternals website (formerly known as Wintinternals) was created in 1996 
and was operated by the company Winternals Software LP, which was located in Austin, 
Texas. It was started by software developers Bryce Cogswell and Mark Russinovich. 
Microsoft acquired Winternals and its assets on July 18, 2006.

All of the SysInternals utilities are listed on one page:

There are lots there that are VERY useful for developers and it's well worth spending a bit of 
time downloading and playing with them :)
