Alt+Ctrl+Del was a Mistake; Said Bill Gates

The combination of Ctrl-Alt-Delete has been proved to be a great mistake by the Microsoft inventor Bill Gates and has expressed regret for it. It was actually used in early editions of the software to get into the system, thereby, forming an intricate barrier to come in.

This triple-combo is still under use in millions of systems worldwide became an icon to lock the computer screen and to unlock the screen and to invoke the task manager menu, The combination which rose above the renowned Homer Simpson, has been proved to be nuisance for the Windows user since 1980.

Recently, Bill Gates, in an interview at Harvard, confessed that it was a big mistake, but he actually meant to avoid other apps faking a login prompt and thus stealing a password. Admitting his fault before the audience, he said that he intended to have a single button but the IBM keyboard designer did not wanted to give them a single button. Gates blamed David Bradley, an IBM engineer, for formulating this triple combination. But Bradley should not be blamed for its invention as it is used even today in Windows 8 to mention the task menu.
