    IsRunning for Windows v1.0 Nearing Completion

    IsRunning for Windows v1.0 is nearing completion. I'll be finishing up testing for the app this week, so hopefully will submit the Microsoft App Store release next weekend!

    IsRunning was designed primarily to allow grouping of processes & services. So users don't have to scroll throughout task manager to get eyes on specific processes. They can utilize 'pin' to keep certain processes or services at the top, or better yet, 'favorite' them, so they can be quickly filtered using a dedicated favorite button in the toolbar.
