Terminating apps that are not responding...

[Guest]

I'd like to suggest that terminating applications is taken more seriously. I
find that whenever a program is not responding it takes far too long to end
the process... This has always been a problem in windows. Program start to
hang... several moments pass... the header says not responding.... more time
passes, you try to close the program using the X... nothing happens.... more
time passes... you ctrl + alt+ del end process... it asks if your sure...
click yes... more time passes..... finally a pop up says this programs not
responding.... click end now.... more time passes then finnally it starts to
end the task (sometimes) in vista I've noticed at times it never actually
ends the process.

Personally when I want to end a non responsive program I want it closed
right after I say kill the process.

This is why I would like to suggest that microsoft impliment a more power
end process feature that will end a process instantly without waiting around
forever, linux has this option available where when you terminate a program
itterminates no matter what the programs doing or what resources it's holding
on to at the time.

I can't agree more strongly.... If the app is "not responding" I should not
have to go thru multiple confirmation screens to shut it down. This has
always been one of my pet

I agree its annoying but I can usually kill them just by clicking the cancel
button instead of the other one.

It's probably the only facet I don't like about Vista. You don't have
control over your programs. I've had several things jam up and I couldn't do
anything about shutting them down. It's real common with Counter Strike
Source. When that jams, it leaves the screen black and the only thing you
can do is look at the program not responding (you can't end the task) or shut
down the computer all together. It is quite annoying.

Give us the power over our computer again, please!
