If you ever need to debug some USB driver or device, then this utility seem like a nice utility to have in your backpack.
It is not soo much better than the devicemanager but still it seem a bit more accessable.

The problem was discovered to be with the DHCP settings we had added “Option 43” for our HP Wireless Accesspoints to be able to find the management server – but somehow this confused some client PC’s… Tried to add option 66+67 to resolve it, but this was not enough – option 43 had to go before client pc’s could PXE boot again.. We have an idea though that it is not all models that have this problem seeing that we had a number of sites that had no problem with the option 43.
Well, if you ever watched scifi movies then you know of one of the first issues in communication with an alien species is language, infact we do not even need to go into space to have this issue – event though English has become sort of a universal language here on earth it can still be a problem to communicate with people from different countries, they may not know English or be very bad at it – so you are back to hand gestures and drawings. Now hand gestures and drawing may be great fun if you have ample time and the spirit is high, but in a pinch it’s not the best way to go.
If you have ever watched Star Trek you know they have this wonderful gadget – the Universal Translater – a contraption that translates alien languages in real time… Well, it’s no longer as far fetched as it sounds 😀 Skype to the rescue, Skype has been working on a near real time vocal translation addon to their popular communications software, and now they have something to show for it – it may still be in the very early stage but it’s a first step in the right direction. Links below to a narrative on this as well as a youtube clip.
