Windows Vista's Task Manager
-
I noticed if I right click on a process I get a lot more options than I did in previous versions of Windows. One thing that I cannot seem to find information about is the "Virtualization" menu option. What does this do?

Virtualization is part of UAC. It means that an app that tries to write to a protected part of the file system (system32, Program Files, etc.) or the registry (HKLM) will have the write operation silently redirected to another part of the file system/registry so it can't muck up the machine-wide state.
