It depends on what you mean by a conflict. Most of us use a debugger, a
performance profiler (kernrate is free from Microsoft in the WDK). A lot
of us use a code coverage tools, personally I use one from Bullseye
http://www.bullseye.com

There are hardware debuggers such as the Arium but they are expensive, and
mainly needed for debugging BIOS or other times that the debugger does not
have a chance to start yet.
