What is SoftICE?
SoftICE is a debugger for Windows. There are lots of debuggers in the world, of course, but SoftICE is a system debugger, and there aren’t nearly so many of those. System debuggers are also sometimes called kernel debuggers, because they are capable of stepping through code in the operating system’s kernel and device drivers, rather than just applications. And that’s probably enough said about that; if you’ve somehow found these pages you’re probably already well aware of what a kernel debugger does.
