Useful for killing applications/processes and monitoring general computer status.
Can prove useful when programs don't wish to cooperate. Also, it's fun to watch sometimes.
Good Most Of The Time... Always im my tray... The Best Thing To Terminate Win Autorun Programs At Boot :) And The Best Thing To Start A Manual "System Crash" :)
The Official Windows Panic Button since 1995.
eh... it needs to be revamped badly
As said before, it doesn't show the application locations. Very frustrating, it angers me haha.
Also it is very very very bad at terminating programs. Especially in Vista. I use processkiller instead.
works well enough.
I use it often.
It's small footprint and ability to give tons of info is nice. Vista's does way more compared to XP's.
Process Explorer is much better but it uses 2% CPU most of the time so I don't use it as much as Task Manager
It is very useful for me. :)
Nice app on XP when an app crashed (again)... But now with Vista i can't even load it up:P Whole computer stucks... p.s. windows sucks get linux or a mac!
A nice interface to see what processes are running and to have better control. I often use it to kill unnecessary processes, when I'm about to do some intense gaming.
P.S. If you are using it, it is not because "Windows, love to crash", but the Programs you are happening to use (often) love to crash. Which is most often a poor implementation from that company's programmers.
Sure I always need it! Windows, love to crash...
пользуюсь редко, только по необходимости ...
Very useful.
Useful program to monitor basic usage, and helps when some icky program stops running :)
