This Thursday, April 18, we’re very, very excited to be having Mark Russinovich on the show! (What? I know, right?) For those of you who don’t know who Mark is: you should be ashamed of yourselves! It’s Mark Russinovich!

  • He wrote filemon and regmon and the rest of the NTinternals aka Sysinternals utilities!
  • He wrote a ton of books and articles about Windows internals
  • He was the guy that found the Sony rootkit
  • He’s a two-time novelist of some seriously geeky sci-fi you’d love: Zero Day, and Trojan Horse
  • He has his own Wikipedia article.

Of course, he’s been up to a lot of other cool stuff lately for Microsoft, and we’ll get into that on the show, as well as see what he has to say about PowerShell.
