This isn't rocket science. > hitting Escape would just throw you back into the stuck program and would help you not at all That depends on if you hit ctrl-alt-del because you thought the app was hung or if you thought Windows was hung. You might have hit it because you thought Windows puked but when you saw the Blue Screen you knew it hadn't and maybe the app hadn't locked up and you're going to go back and give it some more time. Either way you had three options, one of them 'Do Nothing' and you might think otherwise but 'Do Nothing' is a valid option because of why you may have ended up here.
