Concerning non-notable: While this is not a notable consumer product like Microsoft Word, it is a important tools used by those who develop windows software. Those that don't know about the tool would wish they did. --Unsigned by: Concavelenz

yep, it's a great and very useful tool :), on the controversy side it was bought by MS, so not sure what will be the future of it. --HappyInGeneral 15:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The version history

Ugh, I'm really not a big fan of version histories in Wikipedia in the first place, and especially not in this form where many versions have unknown details or speak of "various changes". I wonder if we can't just remove the version history altogether? Isn't that kind of detail best left to a visitor of the home page, for example in the external links section? It's one of those things that usually risk being woefully out of date too. It for example doesn't cover the current version and I don't feel too inclined to keep piling on to that list. — Northgrove 02:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete version history information! This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. History is the core of an encyc -- much more important than the latest news/changes.-172.133.74.97 (talk) 21:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, this information is related to seeing what Microsoft have done to the project, and therefore should be kept, although having it as a written paragraph "Post Acquisition" to state the anti competitive measures instead of a version history in its current format might be acceptable.--NeF (talk) 15:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with Nef. Moreover it can be useful to users if the version history gives info about compatibility, etc. For instance I've just updated the page about PE not seemingly working on Windows 98SE.--Clive4332 (talk) 13:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warning section

The "warning" section is not about the Process Explorer per se, and probably should be removed, but I'm not sufficiently sure to remove it myself. Shalom (HelloPeace) 16:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that is Original Research as stated in WP:OR. --HappyInGeneral (talk) 18:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
