American business magnate and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has finally admitted
that forcing users to press the Control-Alt-Delete key combination to
log into a PC was a mistake. In an interview at a Harvard fundraising
campaign, Gates discusses his early days building Microsoft and the
all-important Control-Alt-Delete decision. If you've used an old version
of the software or use Windows at work then you will have experienced
the odd requirement. Gates explains the key combination is designed to
prevent other apps from faking the login prompt and stealing a password.
