September already...

Software
  • Kernel Memory Space Analyzer Version 8.1- You know, I bet most people who download this Microsoft tool will never need it. But then, the same impulse leads to buying a table saw  when you just need to trim a few pieces of molding for the baseboards.
  • SQLOne Database Search Engine 3.0 - Web-based database search engine that claims to be more flexible than built-in full-text indexing. Works for Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server. Free or trial edition download here, pricing from $245.
  • Browzar - New Web browser for the paranoid (no history, no cookies, no autocomplete...) Unfortunately, according to Scott Hanselman, it doesn't work.
  • e - "The collaborative text editor for Windows". Now in beta, a syntax-highlighting tabbed editor designed for multiple simultaneous users with full revision control baked right in. 30-day trial or buy it for $34.95.

What Microsoft didn't tell you...
The .NET automatic memory management technique is not perfect. An object can be collected by the garbage collector when the object has no more references. It's logic that a button will not be collected when a form still knows it's there. But there are other references that you might not expect, references that will keep objects alive without your knowledge. This will cause unwanted memory leaks in your applications.

Free Qios.DevSuite.MemoryPack to solve this problem
You can prevent memory leaking in you own .NET applications now, for free. Visit our special MemoryPack pages at www.qiosdevsuite.com and download all the free stuff we have prepared for you. Examples and code snippets are available too.

Qios.Devsuite.MemoryPack libray comes with source and is free to use!
