EM vs MS

Hi,
I'm switching from EM/QA to MS and was looking for the Prosses List in MS
(The info that is in Management->Current Activity->Process Info in EM). The
closest I found in MS was the Management->Activity Monitor, however, the
screen is blank and when I double click it, I get:
-- cut --
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
--
Cannot show requested dialog.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Unable to execute requested command.
Unable to launch Activity Monitor. You may not have sufficient permissions.
(ActivityMonitor)
Invalid object name 'sysdatabases'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 208)
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?Prod...08&LinkId=20476
BUTTONS:
OK
--
-- cut --
Everything works fine in EM
Thanks,
JayHmm,
Never mind, I guess. I changed my default database to master and now the
activity monitor works.
Not that I understand it though.

And if it isn't in master, then the error message is expected. I assume this
was against a 2000
server? In any case, definitely a bug in SSMS.
