Bill Gates: The combination of Ctrl + Alt + Del on Windows is

If you have just used Ctrl + Alt + Del on Windows, Bill Gates will probably apologize to you if you are there.

For a long time, the use of "Ctrl + Alt + Del" has become a natural reflex of Windows computer users. However, according to Bill Gates, this is essentially a false design, but accidentally gets many people to love it.

IBM was able to provide users with the Ctrl + Alt + Del command via a single button.

In the conversation at Harvard University, the founder of Microsoft admitted that, when the first PC was released, IBM (the company that hired Microsoft to develop the software for the first PC in the world) had completely can provide users with the Ctrl + Alt + Del command via a single button.

However, because of a lack of design, users must use up to 3 buttons at the same time as the present.

"We may already have a button, but the IBM keyboard designer didn't want to give us the one-click we need," Bill Gates said.

It is known that the designer Bill Gates mentioned is David Bradley . On IBM's 20th birthday, Bradley commented on his design, and also shared responsibility: " I was the inventor of the design, but Bill made it famous".

The conversation took place in a fundraising program of Harvard University. Bill Gates had entered this prestigious university, but then left it to open his company. Three decades later, he was awarded an honorary degree at Harvard University.
