My name's Tony Johnson and I created Spacetornado Killer. Thank you Lee for writing this article! I'm glad you like the program.

And I don't know of any Windows version where you can kill multiple processes at once... Microsoft might be trying to keep casual users from inadvertently destroying several important system processes at once. But as always this [purposeful?] omission of advanced features leaves IT nerds like myself at a disadvantage.

Another use of Killer, besides being handy for the lazy, is stopping annoying malware processes that make sure the user doesn't end them by using buddy processes to monitor and keep each other running.
