Vista had this reliability monitor tool Jeff talked about on coding horror but now in Windows 7 there is something called reliability monitor that is different and stupid. How do you get the good one back?

Open the Start Menu, right click on Computer, and select "Manage". Under "System Tools" click "Performance". That page will display a list of performance counters, as well as a link to the "Resource Monitor". This contains the exact same information as what you linked from the coding horror post, in a slightly different layout.
The Reliability Monitor is something completely different, which tracks system events in a graphical format on your PC. This can easily be accessed by clicking Start, and typing reliability, then click "View Reliability History" when it appears.

In what way is the Windows 7 one different and stupid? Have you had a look at Resource Monitor in Windows 7 I think that might be what you are looking for. I haven't used Vista for years but they may have separated Reliability Monitor from Resource Monitor in Win 7. |

The Windows 7 version also has a few spiffs over the Vista version, such as Total B/s when sorting on the Disk access, as opposed to just having the Read and Write totals in Vista. |
