CTRL-ALT-INS on VMs locks local machine

Anyone has that too ? Myself and a few colleagues now noticed that when you try to do a CTRL-ALT-INS inside a virtual machine (on vSphere) - that it even locks the local machine (basically doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL locally). Really random and I THINK it started with 4.1 which makes me wonder if there is some funky driver installed when installing the client which confuses the local system (running W7x64 btw.)

    How are you connected to the VM? If through vSphere Client, CTRL+ALT+INS has always been a substitute for CTRL+ALT+DEL. If you actually press CTRL+ALT+DEL you will even get a warning message telling you to use CTRL+ALT+INS instead.

    Never noticed it that way. I do notice that if I am in the VM and push ctrl-alt-del instead of insert by mistake, it locks both the VM and my local machine.
