Operating Systems
The past three days have been spent at work err in class I mean in a training class for work. The class was very well taught by David Solomon — yes, he wrote the book on it (well, co-authored it with Mark Russinovich). Amongst many things taught, we were shown several tools. One of the tools that we used a lot is called Process Explorer. This tool allows you to look at pretty much everything that is going on in the system.
Just using the application in its default mode is useful, but that is only the beginning. As expected, the columns are completely customizable and will show you pretty much any bit of information that you need. I plan on using this tool for everything from debugging my own applications and troubleshooting third-party applications issues to just learning more about the system.
Getting a clearer view of what is going on at every phase of, well pretty much anything that is actually going on in the system, has made me even more impressed by Windows.
