What about the app list that is on the left side of the screen (hidden by default)? Doesn't that show you the list of all running apps?

- brudgers 13y agoThe author's argument is vacuous. All* versions of Windows allow for applications to run when their window is minimized. And there's all kinds of crap that runs as a process or in the systray. And if anyone wants to know what is "really" running - i.e. using resources - they use TaskManager or a similar tool. *O.K., I mean "at least since 3.1."
- kenjackson 13y agoActually that is an excellent point. And if anything, Windows 8 cleans up Task Manager to make it easier to see what is running and in what context. I think in summary Win8 provides more views of running processes than Win7.
