Does anybody know the history behind using Ctrl-Alt-Del to envoke the login. Is there any reason? I always wonder if it has anything to do with the keys position and how it relates to the early Apples Ctrl-Open Apple-Reset keys. Maybe MS just though people were already used to the 3-Key combination? It has always seemed like an odd combo to me.

It's basically, winNT handles ctrl-alt-del as a hardware interrupt as in its hardwired into the kernel, so in winNT's eyes if you ctrl-alt-del before logging in, you're assured of getting "their" login prompt, and not some badass trojaned 'ima gonnah steeeel yo passwod' version.
