you would think gates would learn to take these kinds of things in stride, but it seems like he always takes it to heart when something like this happens.

I thought of using it for logging on right away. Wasn't sure what the deal was until i remember that I also use it a lot when Windows crashes... heh.

Guy talks about why he invented Ctrl-Alt-Del, and then he says, "But I can't take all the credit. Bill made it famous."

Bill Gates does not have an amused look on his face.

From the sites description:

"David Bradley describes how he invented CTRL-ALT-DEL, then tries to packpedal after he inadvertantly slams Bill Gates for making it famous."

Gates is a tool for looking so peeved. That wasn't a dig at him. Microsoft products DID bring the "three-finger salute" to the masses, and as the speaker points out, a big part of that is the NT secure attention sequence. Not to mention partnering with IBM and Intel catapulted the sequence into the mainstream. If Gates didn't do it, we'd be joking with Jobs about popularizing openapple-ctrl-reset.

Time to upgrade the ol' 486 :) It was just a Quicktime stream.
