the argument I first heard for this was that it meant a log on and reboot should be concious decision not a random keypress therefore all 3 fingers were needed.
Not sure life would have been the same if we hadn't had the 'three fingered salute'.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

On topic though, Gates was wrong, a single button would have been a nightmare for support people. While the 3 finger salute could be considered clunky it had a safety factor that before the days of autorecovery of documents and software that didn't need re-installing if the machine crashed was useful.
It wasn't a bad idea to use it to access the task manager tools.Comment
