Why CTRL ALT DEL? [Byte Size] | Nostalgia Nerd

CTRL ALT DELETE. Now there's a key combination we're almost all familiar with. CTRL-ALT-DEL (or the three finger salute as it's known) used to instantly restart your computer, which was useful when an application crashed or you just wanted to clear your memory and start all over again. CTRL ALT DELETE would go on to be used for login and task management purposes under Windows protected mode, and it's been with us ever since.

I've created this video after noticing some news stories about Bill Gates considering the key combination a mistake (http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/bill-gates-microsoft-travel-back-in-time-control-alt-delete-comments-a7962131.html), so this is a quick exploration of how CTRL ALT DELETE came to be, and how it evolved from an instant reset combination to Windows Task Management and a Windows NT SAK.

“I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous,” - David Bradley, 2001.
