task manager assigning windows key combination

Now that the faithful ALT+CTRL+DEL combo throws an additional screen in our way to getting to the good ol Task Manager, can we please have a WinKey combination for it..?
Maybe Win+Pause, or Win+um..Home
or is there a way to bring it back to the old behavior, of having the three-finger-salute just call the Task Manager like it used to since time immemorial?
Too bad you cant really use the WinKey for your own shortcuts.. (pressing it in a Shortcut's properties substitutes it with "CTRL + ALT")

CTRL+Shift+Esc key combination will launch the Task Manager.

Thanks, but it still deserves a WinKey assignment, dont you think?

Win+P maybe? for Processes?

The CTRL+Shift+Esc key combination to launch the Task Manger has been in all NT based Operating Systems (Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003), so I doubt it will change in Vista.

Just had word on this one from a friend - they said it's not going to change, there's not much point and because of UAP, not many users will have access to Task Manager.
