CTRL + ALT + DEL is out, CTRL + SHIFT + ESC is the new IN thing

Sick of watching the Windows User options screen when pressing the famous CTRL + ALT + DEL combination?

Ever wondered why can’t the old three-finger shuffle directly bring up the task manager in vista or Windows 7 like it did in XP?

Thats because CTRL+ALT+DEL no longer brings up the task manager in vista. But that does not mean that there is no shortcut to directly bring up the task manager.

Since vista is build in line with NT, this has been changed to the NT behavior.

The new keyboard combination to bring up the task manager is:

CTRL+SHIFT+ESC

This even works with Windows XP and Windows 7 apart from Vista. Guess its time to practice this new combination and spread the word.
