Windows 8 has raised the bar when it comes to the default application an operating system provides for monitoring your system.

In the attached screen shot, you'll see that not only do I get a large graph for the thumbnail I've selected (on the left), but each thumbnail provides (in itself) a real-time graph of the stats I'd normally have to do additional steps to see in other operating systems.

This is awesome, because in one window you can see what is bottle-necking your system (Processor, Disk Read/Write, Network Speed, Ram, etc) at any given point in time (real time).

Often, the hard drive is what is bottle-necking tasks you are trying to accomplish, however Gnome-System-Monitor doesn't provide monitoring for this aspect of system monitoring.

I'm a big time Linux fan here, but when I see something that's awesome somewhere else, I fell compelled to report it

I'd like to see our default system monitor be as complete: providing disk-transfer-utilization stats, and allowing us to see all graphs a once.
