Ice-9:
Not entirely true    
While I love to be able to xkill an app, all M$ Os'es based on the NT kernel have a quite effective Ctrl+Alt+Del + task manager (not like that joke of a 9x kernel).
Not to forget Dr. Watson who calls home to tell M$ which pr0n site you were visiting when Internet Eradicator exploded.

Yes indeed. The task manager in earlier NT versions (like Win2K) was effective until M$ bundled the Win32 API into the NT kernel and introduced Win XPee. Win2K was in my opinion the best OS M$ ever introduced.

voidmain:
And you can just map your keybindings so CTRL+ALT+DEL will bring up "kpm" or "gnome-system-monitor" if you want it to be more like Windows (who would want that?). In fact isn't that the KDE default? Maybe it used to be a RedHat KDE default.

Hmm, I really don't know. But even if that is the case, who would really want to map their keybindings like that?  :D  . Man this CTRL+ALT+DEL routine must be a real nightmare for Windows users LOL  :D  .

voidmain:
Yeah, it used to piss me off that KDE defaulted to mapping the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys but it took two seconds to unbind those keys in KDE Control Center. If you need to use the Linux VNC client to log into an NT/2K server you need to be able to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on in. Speaking of using CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in... there's a winner. Microsoft programmers: "let's see, let's make our users press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in." ... "Brilliant idea!"
