The End of An Era (or Something)

Wow! I knew this was coming, but it’s still a shock that Compuware announced the end of SoftICE: http://www.compuware.com/products/devpartner/default.htm. Having been a huge SoftICE user and even helping develop the product, it’s just so sad to see it go. SoftICE is the ultimate in hard core and nothing was better than sitting with Matt Pietrek and SoftICE to see how Windows really worked. For all the truly great folks that worked on SoftICE: Frank Grossman, Jim Moskun, Dom Basile, Gerald Rykman, Dan Babcock, Tom Guinther and the rest, I owe a major part of my career to you all.  Thank you. Still to this day, I can never map any key stoke in any application to CTRL+D.
