The Windows 8 Metro Task Manager does not need to be installed.

A window displays a list of tasks currently running with the status of each task listed.

To end a task, grab the task in the list and click End Task.

Use a Windows 8-Like Task Manager in Windows 7, Vista, and XP

To do so, simply click Restart Explorer.

Just like the Windows 8 Task Manager, there is a More Details link.

Unfortunately, you do not have access to the same tabs available in the real Windows 8 Task Manager.
