People are used to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, that brought up the task manager in Windows XP when using the welcome screen (the classic login gives the same behaviour as Vista and 7, although it is a window, and not a screen). Then, considering keyboard shortcuts aren't discoverable, a lot of people probably don't know about Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

  Not quite the same. Unlike taskman, the Close Program dialog appeared on a screen by itself and all the other programs are suspended.

    That's very true. I was mentioning it as a reason why (some of the older) folks use Ctrl+Alt+Del as a way to shut down programs.
