"What i like in a program"
Pros: What i was looking for. A 4.5. It's a streamlined, low impact program that takes little to no real-estate on my desktop (while showing what i need). When you mouse over the (color coded) unlabeled buttons, XP told me what the buttons are. It displayed my hyperthreading details on my P4 3.4 in two small yet effective bars. It also gave the small but handy windows task manager line graph style all in a small amount of space. I think we need more programs designed like this. Low impact, functional, compact and delivers only what you ask it too. It doesn't try to invade my desktop or my system and takes up no more vertical space than the immediate window's minimize button. It's found a home on my system.
Cons: The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 is, while it's extremely functional and by no means unatractive, it doesn't provide a "wow" factor in presentation. In the age of new Vista users and borderline Mac users this is what i and others are looking for. My last .5 score would have came in the asthetics.
