Windows 8 Task Manager

Microsoft has recently blogged about the changes to Windows 8 task manager.  For those of us in corporate IT, it's a change worth taking a look at.

My thoughts are that they have certainly added some nice visual changes and made the information that I, as a technician, look for in the task manager.  As long as they keep the performance information in there and allow us to end tasks and processes easily, it will continue to service its purpose.
