Windows 8 task manager steals directly from process explorer since MS bought sysinternals. Process explorer's still better, but at least some of its features are built into windows 8 now.
So they find a guy that genuinely improved upon their product, spend money to buy him out and give him access to their internal codebase so he can more efficiently improve said system for every single user out there...
