As long as there are bugs and malware, I'll probably want to know what my
computer is doing. Disk activity and network activity are my primary inputs
-- when either of those is active, I generally wonder why.
Of course I've learned that Vista is often using the disk, eg., indexing,
defender, superfetch. It'd be nice if there were a window that would answer
the question "What is the computer doing now?".
The Reliability and Performance Monitor (RPM) might be the answer, if only
the applications running were identified more meaningfully. I like the way
RPM divdes into Disk, Network, Memory, etc.
So: Could more user-friendly identifiers be used in the Image column in the
Reliability and Performance Monitor windows?
If people could know what their computer is doing, they can better detect
deviances that could indicate problems or malware. Also it helps them learn.
