For a variety of reasons, some having to do with expanding my technical horizons, some having to do with laziness, I've been spending more time with Windows XP these days and less time with Linux.
Things like
Cygwin have made my sojourn in the Land of Windows smoother. Another source of incredibly helpful utilities has been Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell of
Sysinternals. Thanks, guys!
In particular, programs like
Process Explorer and
TCPView have filled the grey, jagged hole created by the absence of lsof and netstat. (Yes, Cygwin comes with netstat, but TCPView is nicer.)
Any other Unix natives spending lots of time with Windows? What programs do you use to keep you sane?
As much I wanted my Windows Re-Education Camp efforts to succeed completely, my brain and my fingers have Unix idioms too deeply ingrained in them to make the increasing amount of adjustment effort worth it. Instead of firing up my long-dormant VMWare
