About the Microsoft keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Bill Gates, is asked quite often. At the Bloomberg business forum, he said that the author of this three-finger method of input of a rather popular team is the engineer Debid Bradley of IBM, who was responsible for developing the keyboard for PC.

He then refused to create a separate key for this combination, which in early computers instantly rebooted the system, and starting with Windows 3. 1 called the task manager. This was done so that the user could not accidentally restart the machine. In Windows 8 and 10, this combination blocks the screen, and to call the manager directly you can use Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

Bill Gates said that if he had the opportunity to return to the past, he would have a little edited this functionality, making it one-button.
