for the love of god, for the past 27 years it's been ctrl-shift-esc (since like NT 4.0), while ctrl-alt-del opens up the security menu thing. I can't believe I'm saying this..

i thought programmers liked doing things faster

CTRL+SHIFT+ESC is simply a keyboard shortcut and is useless on a locked up system, it dies with the shell. CTRL+ALT+DEL throws a hardware interrupt, which contributed to the aforementioned bulletproof nature.
