For working with processes and software development on Windows, this replacement looks useless. I use Sysinternals Process Explorer daily at work, and that'll continue being immensely useful.

Then you've been ripped off as Sysinternals Process Explorer is essentially the same thing but free

Ripped off with using a free tool to do basic task management and get better viz than default TM? To each their own, I've used SPE and I much prefer TS for my simple needs.

You might find some interest in System Informer, a sort of spiritual successor to Process Explorer!
