Microsoft's Fiddler PowerToy?
Today I ran across this article on MSDN, titled "Fiddler PowerToy - Part 1: HTTP Debugging". Now, I've been using Fiddler for ages - it's a fabulous tool. But "Microsoft Fidder"? Has it always been a Microsoft tool? Did I miss something? Near as I can figure, it was either developed by a Microsoft employee but originally delivered independently, or it was aquired by Microsoft on the down-low, Lookout style. Either way, I'm glad to see it's still being enhanced. But it caught me by surprise.
UPDATE - Omar dispels my conspiracy theories by informing me that Fiddler is (and always was) written by a MS employee. Damn you and your dose of reality, Omar. :)

Fiddler was written by a Microsoft employee, alway has been.
Yes, Microsoft always owned it, but it wasn't an official-unofficial project until rather recently. ;-)
