   Review - System Explorer

   1.6 Beta 1 (May 21, 2009)

   Very nice tool. I use it instead of the default Task Manager. Just a couple of gripes.
   
   As another reviewer mentioned, the menu structure is a bit unorthodox. I've never seen Main as the first menu option. Why not use standard terminology (File, Edit, View, Tools, etc)?
   
   Two rows of tabs look a bit weird.
   
   The Performance tab is screwed up: when resized, controls get overlapped. Also why does it not show second processor graph (for dual-processor based systems)? I would not mind it to look exactly like the corresponding tab of the built in Windows Task Manager.
   
   A bit more of white space (maybe 2-4 additional dialog units) between controls would make them more pleasing to the eyes; now they look a bit cramped. On the first run, when I clicked the Performance tab, the app hang, so I had to kill it.
   
   With the Replace Task Manager option checked, System Explorer does not launch Windows Task Manager from, the Utilities menu. How do I invoke the Windows Task Manager then?
   
   It would be nice if System Explorer could display system info: processor, graphics card, RAM, BIOS version, devices, etc.
   
   Also, it would be nice to be able to add a column with command line parameters to the Processes tab.
   
   I would not use the same app icon as the Windows Task Manager.
