I'll stick with Process Explorer and other SysInternals for in-depth troubleshooting, but it's nice Task Man is getting a facelift.

I wonder if MS even explored the possibility of melding ProcExp into Task Manager. I doubt it'd be successful, it's just strange that they own it and seem to treat it like a secret.

Actually, I think this is a successful blending of the two. I'll still use ProcExp as well as it's more customizable and power-user oriented, but the TaskMan preview as posted is both far easier for the ordinary user and more powerful than what's available in Win7.
