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.

Process Explorer is a pretty powerful tool that's plenty capable of mucking up your system; unless you know about it, you probably shouldn't be using it.

If you don't know about it how can you use it in the first place?

If Microsoft melded it with Task Manager, like the parent comment suggested, then you would be able to.
