Michael Larabel writes in Phoronix about Microsoft's new open-source process monitor for Linux:
Microsoft's newest open-source Linux software is ProcMon for Linux, a rewritten and re-imagined version of its Processor Monitor found on Windows within their Sysinternals suite.
Microsoft's ProcMon tool is a C++-written, open-source process monitor for Linux that makes it convenient to trace system call activity. This ProcMon Linux version is open-source under an MIT license.
Microsoft released the source code to their ProcMon Linux version on Thursday and is marked as a 1.0 preview release. Microsoft is also making available a Debian/Ubuntu package of this preview build.
The Phoronix article includes a gif demonstrating ProcMon. To my amateur eyes, this looks like htop without the resource monitoring and instead has some stack tracing capabilities. Has anybody given Microsoft's ProcMon a test drive? What are your thoughts?

Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a tcrap!" Death to micro$oft. Early obsolescence to micro$oft! Not a real operating system, and anyone who runs it deserves the heap of scorn that any self respecting Soylentil will dump upon them. (Nota Bene: we have several non-self-respecting Soylentils, notable is the janrinok hisself, and chromas? Who is all Microsoft up the ying-yang?) Winter is coming, people, winter is coming.

Not the Star Wars reference you're looking for.

That's a bit over the top...but only a little bit. I might use something from MS if I really needed what it could do, and nothing else could serve, and it had been reviewed by people I tested, and the source was not only open, but used a Free Software build chain. But I'd want to run it behind a firewall that had only a couple of open ports...both of which I monitored.
