2.0 What's Included in the NT support tools version 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------
There are three tools/sets of tools:
1. New debugger extensions to facilitate examination and analysis of a wider
range of Kernel data structures than is conveniently possible today,
especially when dealing with crash dumps. This set of tools is known as the
"Kernel Debugger Extensions."
2. Tools for memory pool caller-tracking/tail-checking and increasing available
pool statistics. This set of tools is known as the "Pool Enhancements."
3. A heuristics-based kernel memory crash dump analysis tool to aid in
diagnosing memory corruption problems. This tool discovers and analyzes
anomalies in the kernel memory space and is known as the "Kernel Memory Space
Analyzer."
