Windows 8 – Task Manager Redesign

Bigger,Colorful, Better

Yes, the image seen above it’s the new and redesigned Windows Task Manager that will ship on the also new and redesign Windows 8.

With Microsoft stating that 35% of Windows users normally use task manager on a weekly basis, the Advanced Windows Task Manager it’s a nice addition to the new or redesign features of the next Redmond’s operating system.

This new Task Manager comes with some additional tabs, new options and a new UI.
The processes tab will include the Windows 8’s tablet applications, but, if the user is using the Windows 8 desktop experience and not the “tablet experience”, which includes the Metro Style appearance, this tablet applications will be “frozen” on their current state, using very very little resources.

The performance tab also has a new look, with no more green and black graphics of memory and CPU usage.
There’s now individual colorful graphics for CPU, memory, disk usage, Bluetooth, WWAN and wireless devices usage.
For tablet/slates users there’s also a new feature on Task Manager that’s called App History. This tab consists on a detailed history of used applications, amount of time it has run and, for example, how much bandwidth the app has used.

And for everyone that thinks this is just to much more information in Task Manager that you’ll ever need, Microsoft also thought on that guy and available a “compact version”.
