Good interview!  I've been checking out Lenny's website quite a bit lately and would love to take his course.  My job doesn't require it and won't pay for it, so it'll be awhile before I can afford to go.  It's more of a personal interest than anything.  I recommend watching the intro to malware video available on his website, it really gives you a great idea of how to start.

Excellent list!  Here a couple of tools you may or may not want to add.  Both of these are free tools to mount a drive image as a new drive to your system and assign them a driver letter.  I use both of them.

1. Paraben P2eXplorer  This one is a little odd because, even though it's free, they still require you to enter a credit card number.  Other than that, it's great.  Oh, it doesn't work on a 64 bit system as I discovered.

2. IMDisk  Another excellent mounting utility.
