Mark Russinovich is the CTO of Microsoft Azure, but may be best known to others as the father of Sysinternals, a set of useful Windows utilities which exposes the internal functioning of the OS and apps.
Mark is offering to release Sysinternals for Windows 10 on ARM, not only for the Lumia 950 XL of course but mainly for the numerous Windows 10 on ARM laptops currently on sale.
It does raise the hope the Lumia 950 XL hackers, however, who have been handwriting drivers for the LTE chipsets and touch drivers for the handset but could likely do with a little bit of official support, with one of the hackers noting a leaked BSP would be helpful.
