Windows 8's Advanced Task Manager Revealed

[someguynamedmatt]

I'm quite happy with the Windows 7 resource monitor, thank you very much. Don't see any reason to cut it in half and smash it into the task manager, and call it intuitive.

Well, it was about time Task Manager got an overhaul anyway. The current way is simple and fast but we can definitely use more control.

I just dont understand why you guys dont read what microsoft themseves have said (i was at a w7 launch party)

they will be doing a full kernel review every 3 years just like the used to up until xp !

Does this mean that MS will ACTUALLY update the Drive Properties to modern levels?

Seriously, go to explorer - Right click to drive properties.
That low-res ugly purple and blue pie-chart is the SAME thing from Windows95. It should be more 3D, transparent and look nice.

Same for standard pull down menus... still Windows 2000.

I like the menus as they are, the pie charts as they are too. This is a problem for MS, satisfying both of us. I hoped they would do the sensible thing and not change the interface since either way some people would be not satisfied. They can't possibly support 2 shells for windows, can they?
Thumbs up for all linux users that can chose their combination of kernel and shell.
Thumbs up for all those who support freedom.
