Theres a story on the OSNEWS website about a Process Controller clone that works on windows. While theres the usual gushing about how kewl it is to have some BeOS functionality on your Windoze desktop, I wonder why they didnt just consider using BeOS itself with the original Process Controller?
If you want the BeOS experience, you have to run BeOS :)

Well, maybe they want to use their pcs for something that BeOS can't
deliver. Although I love BeOS very much and try to use it wherever I
_can_, I just can't use it sensibly all over the place. Maybe Haiku can
change that, but certainly BeOS itself is meanwhile coming of age a bit...
and never minding the above; ProcessController is a nice piece of
software as it is, under BeOS or not.

Preferably under BeOS :)
