I have never understood why there is no dedicated @ key rather than using shift 2
I’m still using XP every day. It is a lot less annoying. I use others as well too but XP just works.
It’s the BSOD that was the problem.

Yes, please bring back XP.
Control-Alt-Delete has never worked to unfreeze or do anything on any of our computers.
Took me over an hour yesterday to get into mine because of unasked for updates screwing up.
Ya know, I never have a problem with my toaster. It’s worked each and every time for the past 30 years. No problem whatsoever. Push one button and in a few seconds it gives me toast just like it’s supposed to do. Push one button and blam! the tv is on. Turn the key and vroom! the car is ready to take me anywhere. My computer, snort, takes an act of congress to wake up in the mornings and takes as many breaks away from work as congress does.
I haven’t given him money in over a decade. Apple products only.
He should apologize for Windows ME........................

I dont understand this comment. CNTR Alt DEL is for rebooting your computer not for logging on.
With a properly complex key sequence required to initiate caps lock, a "convert to lower case" utility would be needed MUCH less often. Caps lock is too easy to hit by mistake.
"Dude"? Good lord.
We don't all use Microsoft Word, dude. Also, we don't all want to waste our time using a "convert to lower case" utility in ANY word processor to fix mistakenly capitalized text that would never have been accidentally capitalized without the miserable caps lock key on the keyboard.
Ctrl-Alt-Del has long been used to increase the security of Windows logons for some Windows setups.
For example: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/how-require-ctrl-alt-del-logon-windows-10
I prefer for the ctrl-alt-del function to be a key combination. I can see all kinds of trouble if it was just a single key. For example, the cat jumps on the keyboard, and suddenly, the task manager pops up in front of whatever I’m doing on the computer.
What I really dislike is when the computer crashes so hard that I have to hold the power button to force it to shut off or reboot.
In Word, all you have to do is use shift-F3 to toggle between caps, initial cap, or all lowercase. Plus, if you accidently hit the caps lock, many Microsoft programs will automatically turn it off and fix your typing the moment you type two capital letters in a row. It's a bit of a pain if you mean to type in all caps.
I'm not going to complain about Microsoft products, I find them intuitive to use. Apple, on the other hand, I always found user-unfriendly. I'd had an iPad for several months when my son looked at it and saw that I had just about every app on it running. How was I to know that turning off an app on an Apple product isn't as simple as clicking a little X in the corner? It's actually fairly complicated to turn off an app on the iPad--far more complicated IMO than hitting ctrl-alt-del to log in on some systems.
