Another reason I don't like Macs is because when you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing happens whereby in my Windows computer, it does a lot of useful stuff.

No, you're right, it doesn't... but then that is because it is not a Windows machine.

If you want some of the neat things, such as force quit, that CTRL+ALT+DEL does on a Windows machine, you press OPT+CMD+ESC. The rest are either not necessary on a Mac or are accessed differently.

option-command-shift will let you force quit programs in Mac. Or just take your mouse to the Apple under Finder. The entire system rarely, if ever, requires a reboot -- although a USB card reader was causing one at work to do some funky things. Of course, once we pulled the card reader, we got control again. And once we stopped trying to connect it via the keyboard and used the ports on the back, we got the card reader working.

I know what you mean. I hope Microsoft releases a Bluetooth version of this keyboard soon.

Yep - that CTRL+ALT+DEL does a lot fo useful stuff - like help get you out of frozen programs, or to force reboot the computer when it hangs - again.

I can't believe you said this. You don't use Macs because of missing c/a/d???????
Oh man, if you only KNEW what you were missing! It doesn't have it, and you'll never miss it!!!
