Admin’s Arsenal article is completely right.
I have found nothing better till today (2011).
Only one minor drawback:
The tab order could be more flexible:
If you monitor multiple logs that change their filename every day you have to close that tab and reopen the new file. However you can’t have the new tab on the old position, only at the end of the row.

There is a tail command (tail.exe) that comes as part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. It is a no frills command line app that displays the latest lines from a log file (the number of line is specified by the /n switch). It can also continually query the log file and display any new lines by using the /f switch. The command works all versions of Windows including XP and Vista.
