WinPatrol on Windows 7

Bill Pytlovany is back from PDC2008 and has a pre-Beta version of Windows 7 installed on his test machine. Based on his post, I could not help but get the impression that he is a bit surprised that WinPatrol works without any problems on the latest Microsoft operating system.

Just like a "Timex keeps on ticking", Scotty the Windows Watchdog keeps on protecting from Windows 95 through and including Windows 7!

See Bill's report at WinPatrol Exposes New Windows 7 Services.
