Almost forgot to mention another accidental (mis)use of Ctrl+Alt+Del. If anybody is familiar with VMWare products, you know what Ctrl+Alt+Insert is used to "remove" focus from the virtual machine (with a GUI install mind you).

Well just so happens that i have accidentally hit Delete instead (more than a few times), thus causeing the desktop in the VM and whatever i was working on to be killed, VMWare DOES try to prevent this by popping up a big message saying to use Ctrl+Alt+Insert instead, this does not always help ...

This may seem unimportant to most but there are ppl that use VM's daily to test and configure many things before deploying, and DO require the non use of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, in virtual machines and raw metal installs as well.
