Perhaps. But remember that "Shut down" and "Shutting down" actually have the same icon. If the status column gets ditched, the icons need to be more clear first, in my opinion.
Definitely. The icons need to be clear.
- Uptime: not interesting at all, I never used this information for anything
We do. It´s really good information to have when you use a centralized updating system like forcing updates and reboots through puppet or WSUS. If you see that every VM has been rebooted after there should have been updates except one, you know that VM probably is in some kind of trouble.
I understand your need, but would rather choose a monitoring solution to do the verify task. Especially when using a centralized updating system I would try hard to avoid this manual verification step. But I guess this is another story :-) Ciao - Frank
