I am working on writing my own version of SIW mainly due to the lack for important information found by software like SIW: typically you find a dump of anything and everything which is delivered in an inconsistent way which makes it hard to reuse information gathered for inventory reports etc.
Something that I have yet to see a pc info app deliver is Office information, typically you can find office under the list of installed programs but this is useless when you have something like Office 365 installed which shows up as "Office 365 Pro Plus". Also, what happens when a user has Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed? Which version is active and thus needs to be counted for licensing?
Simple logic allows me to do something like this:
What information do you care about outside of the current scope of programs like SIW?
For those curious, this a pet project which I plan on posting online as freeware once I am done
edit: something else that is always a pain in the ass with software like this is finding the IP address behind a printer which could be configured on a WSD port.
