SIW - System information for Windows.  From their website:

  SIW is an advanced System Information for Windows  tool that gathers detailed information about your system properties and settings and displays it in an extremely comprehensible manner.

I used it today to get ram specs on a server rather than shutting the server down and physically inspecting it.  Very cool tool:

asp.net mvc Beta released

I've been watching the ASP.net MVC stuff for quite a while now, and I'm really impressed with everything I've seen so far.  For me, this fits my style of development - much more control over the html markup, with a whole whack of features that handle the 60-80% of application building scenarios - presenting data to users to edit, validation, and managing redirections.

There are much better bloggers out there than I am that have done a great job of documenting the asp.net mvc stuff, so I won't bother going into details.  ScottGu's site is a great resource.
