The Character looks a bit like the great great grandmother of Sally (Nightmare before Christmas)
If it had buttons for eyes I would be totally freaked out. Caroline was a lovely stop-motion animated movie but I can't look at sewing or stitched-up things the same way anymore.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that having to hold the same ctrl-alt-delete keys that are used to force quit, end tasks etc are still being used after 20 plus years. It just seems that Microsoft can not break away from the past. Couldn't they just use the "Windows" key to log in?
David Bradley, the guy who designed the ctrl-alt-delete keycombo, probably won't like that as the keycombo was designed to be pressed with two hands. Later keyboards had the Ctrl and Alt on the righthand side as well, thus you were now able to press the three keys with one hand, which at the time was considered a mistake. A welcomed one.

And the TaskManager can be invoked by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc

Good call. I wasn't aware of the new architecture base of W8. (W8 = wait? = weight? Just a couple of thoughts.)
W8, or 'wait' - ROTFLMAO
That phrase will be heard all over cubicle walls in corporations every time a user is waiting for windoze 8 to respond. Too funny.
I feel a little bad calling Ballmer a monkey, but really, what other words could we use.
