How difficult would it be to have PMPS display the name of the process
running in the VDM, instead of just saying 'VDM'? Granted, this is an
improvement over PSPM, but this would be one step better. Also, how about
adding the 'Switch To' button like in PSPM? This was one feature I always
used. I found it easier to keep PMPS up on the screen at all times, and
just using it to switch tasks, rather than calling up the task list.
