Microsoft founder Bill Gates is trending right now on Twitter, and is the subject of chatter across the Web.

While there are many current reasons why this might be the case, the cause for this most present swell of Gates-related activity seems to be the story recounted by TheVerge.com here. The story speaks of a recent Gates speaking engagement from which he was quoted as saying, of Microsoft’s nearly iconic Control-Alt-Delete key combo; “it was a mistake,” adding, “we could have had a single button, but the guy who did the IBM keyboard design didn’t wanna give us our single button.”
