New use for the old Ctrl-Alt-Del

Why do you think Microsoft choose the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination for starting the session (calling the Log-On to Windows dialog at start-up) in it’s latest products (since NT)?

* Easy to remember?
* Widely known?
* Fast to type it?
* A market induction trick to make us change our mind about the poor stability of the OS?

What other subliminal intentions has Microsoft in the pocket?

* Maybe make us forget about Novell NDS?
* Maybe try to convince us that Java is only a Star-Wars evilalien?
* Or maybe that penguins are not the ideal pets because of our climate?
