The Sysinternals suite is incredible; acquiring Sysinternals and maintaining the tools is one of the best things the Windows team has ever done.

I don't love everything about Windows these days, and I've mostly switched away from it. But Process Explorer and Process Monitor are a lovely reminder that it's still a powerful OS, and tools don't have to be text-first to cater to power users.

Buying Sysinternals is how Mark Russinovich started working at Microsoft, right? He's the CTO of Azure now!

Amiga, Atari ST and Mac OS pre-OS X were similar in that tools don't have to be text-first to cater to power users.
