"Do you always need to reboot the computer and/or start Windows Task Manager? Look no further than Ctrl+Alt+Del, a handy tool which does just that and nothing more."

Is it sad that I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del for over 15 years I never thought to use the delete key by the number pad? on a mac now, so I guess I have an excuse, but wow...
- WiseYoda (aka Patrick)
lol i want - i also want a windows-e version plz
- Allen Stern
WiseYoda, or the one-handed Ctrl+Alt+Delt, is the Ctrl+Alt on the right with the closest Del button. Gosh, I'm such a geek. ;-)

Do not start with your comparably crappywise OS7,6 of same days !
- Acharad Sami vanJoulee
This is pretty funny. Oh, and I had no idea that that using the numpad '.' for del overrode the Num Lock when doing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Interesting. I can already do the one-handed three finger salute quite quickly, though. Plenty of training and all.

You have to buy the OEM version with hardware, correct? E.g. you used to have to purchase it along with a DIMM, a hard drive, etc.

If one's already running something like AVG Free or some other free/shareware anti-virus, is there any reason to dump it and run Security Essentials instead?

Nice Google Wave discussion and visual for those who don't have the early invites...
- Eric Matas
I really doubt it'll be scalable, in that you can't really open a "wave" up to the public. Very, very noisy.

Most people still don't "get" wikis. Take Google, for example, who just launched "Sidewiki" which is pretty much in no way a wiki.
