If you've gone this far and you *haven't* remapped the Windows Key to something more useful that its default Ctrl-Esc?
Shouldn't it be remapped to a "force quit" function?
My most common Windows-related problem at work is just the application freezing up. I tend to move pretty quickly on a computer, opening windows, clicking links, jumping between open windows and programs (I *need* at least four open programs at once, just to do the most basic part of my job, and two of those are a bit buggy; I feel I'm paying to be the beta tester for some of this stuff!). As such, at least a few times a day, I have a program freeze on me, because I've either told it to do too many things at once, or it just gets confused and has to "time out" to mull it over. (Yes, I am anthropomorphizing, I know)
So having the "End Now" function mapped to the Windows key would actually be useful to me. Can't think of anything else I use that key for, anyway.
It's not unique to Windows, this freezing-up issue; my Macs will do it, too, but not nearly as often. Instead of two or three times a day, it's more like once a month, tops.
