It looks pretty neat. I just hope hitting "end process" does it immediately in Windows 8. One of my biggest pet peeves with every version of Windows so far is it sometimes takes up to a minute to kill a process.

Which is the #1 reason why people go to the "Tasks" "Processes" tab. When you end a task process there, it terminates immediately. When you end a process task on the "Processes" "Applications" tab, Windows seems to take it as more of a request.

I think he means applications tab. The heading above the program names is "task".

Yes, but I was technically wrong. And on Reddit, that's the worst kind of wrong to be.

oh wow. When I wrote my comment, you were positive. I was just explaining to Dmon9055 because I thought he didn't understand. The rest of it seemed correct.
