Bill gates Favours a one-button alternative to Ctrl+alt+del

Bill Gates favoured a one-button alternative to Ctrl+Alt+Del

Bill Gates has described the decision to use Ctrl+Alt+Del as
the command needed to log on to a PC as a mistake.
Originally designed to trigger a reboot of a PC, it survives in the
Windows 8 operating system as the command to access the
task manager toolbar and is still used in older versions to log
on.
In an interview, the Microsoft co-founder blamed IBM for the
shortcut, saying he had favoured a single button.
The keyboard shortcut was invented by IBM engineer David
Bradley.
Originally he had favoured Ctrl+Alt+Esc, but he found it was
too easy to bump the left side of the keyboard and reboot the
computer accidentally so switched to Ctrl+Alt+Del because it
was impossible to press with just one hand.
During IBM's 20th anniversary celebrations, he said that while
he may have invented it, Bill Gates made it famous.
His involvement in the invention has made him something of a
programming hero though- with fans asking him to autograph
keyboards at conferences.
Finger strike
The shortcut, also known as the three-finger salute - came to
prominence in the early 1990s as a quick fix for the infamous
"blue screen of death" on PCs.
But speaking at a fundraising campaign at Harvard University,
Mr Gates said he thought that it had been a mistake.
"We could have had a single button, but the guy who did the
IBM keyboard design didn't want to give us our single button."
While some loathe the clunky command, others took to news
site Reddit to express their fondness for it.
"I feel a single button would be a mistake," said one.
"There's a conscious commitment and in many cases a sense of
satisfying sword play in executing the two-handed finger
strike of Ctrl-Alt-Del."
