The Origins of Ctrl Alt Del

Yeah I saw that a couple of days ago. It's funny how Bill never seems to actually find humour in anything.

I remember Conan O'Brian was hosting one of MS's things, forget what it was (talking about the future, MP3 players, media systems etc) and, being who he is, was always cracking jokes (albeit not very funny ;)). It looked like Bill was about to kill him for interrupting or something lol.
 
That reminded me about the genuine Microsoft keyboard:

Interestingly usually Mac people make jokes about it, but even on Mac is a something similar shortcut (Option+Alt+Esc), but it's pretty useless since if a Mac hangs it hangs for good... it can be rebooted only by unplugging it. :)
 
Hehe, speaking of that little keboard, here's something ironic :P My old PDA's keyboard had the CTRL ALT DEL keys side by side! Yes, my PDA was windows based. Now that combo does nothing in Windows CE/PocketPC but it was funny ;)

I thought that it was just mocking microsoft on how windows seemingly always never responds ...
