Control-Alt-Delete: A History Lesson

David Bradley is the IBM programmer who is responsible for the well known Control-Alt-Delete command we all know and love. In this video David discussed why he created the command, citing it was never meant for widespread use, but more of an easter egg for programmers to find and use.

But as David points out, Bill Gates’ use of the command in Microsoft Windows is what made it famous… although this comment does not go down too well with Bill – just watch the video… and make sure you bring a knife to cut the tension!
