Everytime I step away from my PC I automatically hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, hit enter and my machine is locked. Works fine in XP, 2000 etc but not in Vista to bring up the Task Manager etc. Another quirky change in vista that annoys me is the CTRL-ALT-DEL then Tab to bring up Lock Computer, Task Manager or Shut Down.

Good digging into the matter. Didn't know about the 'Paradox of Choice' details being discredited by the authors themselves before. But as Joel pointed out, in Windows Vista case, the choices might just be too much. Though I don't see users getting confused. Each user will just choose to use one of the options they best understand & stick with it. Nice one, Tom! Good digging into the matter.
