Two new tools from MS:
Desktops v1.0 - Been waiting for ages for this one, it has some interesting applications in multithreading as well, due to its design. (Which is also its limitation in comparison to similar features in KDE or Gnome.)
Process Monitor v2.0 - This may prove useful in development and diagnosis of issues in SFC multiplayer as it provides "real time" udp monitoring, previously unavailable in native windows tools.
Unfortunately, I do not currently have a PC I can evaluate either on, but soon I will have my connection and systems back up and running, soon...
