Learning WMI - useful downloads, importance of Google

I was trying to learn more about WMI for a project I am working on so I typed in a Google query and up poped this url. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=9ef05cbd-c1c5-41e7-9da8-212c414a7ab0

Once you have downloaded the tool and installed it, you have a ready collection of useful WMI scripts with appropriate names. It has meant I have been able to get up to speed with WMI. All the examples are in vbscript but once you know how the calls look you apply your new found knowledge to .Net

As a side note I have been reading the interesting blog discussions about the influence and future of Google and have to say it really is an essential part of my development toolkit. Code examples and solving support calls (Google or groups.google.com), images for presentations (image search on Google). Like many others I seem to be using an RSS aggregator and Google rather than random surfing.
