Very funny, feel bad for gates being put on the spot.

Good clip! I reckon Gates saw the funny side of it and his reaction was fine. He could hardly laugh out loud, but the deadpan response gave me a chuckle too. Maybe he's a natural comic in the Stan Laurel sense. Building a company from scratch that's now worth a successful hundred billion dollars (or whatever it is presently) would tend to make you pretty thick-skinned to criticism. I guess.

"The difficulty with Ctrl-Alt-Del, however, is that for the reset to work, the system must be capable of receiving input. If the program has gone completely off into the weeds and has disabled the interrupts, the reset won't work. But production software should not exhibit this kind of behavior."

good laugh :)

But i dont use Ctrl alt del at all anymore :) Seriously, i havent had to use it except to cancel a program that was made poorly (crap freeware stuff that i sometimes try, not a good idea i guess as most have viruses adware and more LOL) and that is rarely at best...it all depends on how you treat your computer, i treat mine nicely and it treats me nicely :)
