While it does offer enchanced functionality over Taskmanager, the lack of column choices in the ‘Processes’ tab is limiting. Perhaps Extensoft will fix this.
All things considered, Sysinternals Process Explorer is still the standard
task manager extension also having similar function,i like it due to portable,no need installer.

Thanks for sharing this, it is interesting.
I contacted the developer to inquire about Windows 7 and 64-bit compatibility. He said that it is currently not compatible with Windows 7, but will work on that when it goes final. No response on the x64 compatibility though, but a comment in the forums indicated that it doesn’t work on x64 versions of Windows.
