I recently had the pleasure of marking some answer sheets of software development questions my company hands out to interview candidates. I am not too sure if I am allowed to LOL in such a disruptive manner anymore....

Question:
How do you stop a long-running process from blocking the UI?

Answer:
CTRL-ALT-DEL

Well, he is technically right and should get extra marks for thinking outside of the box. Ctrl-Alt-Del does solve almost all technical woes. Lucky he didn't mention going to "Command Prompt" and typing "Format c:/"

A revisit today, by an interviewee who tries too hard to read too much into the question.

Answer:
If you are talking about front end -> IE then end task
backend then restart IIS
services can be end with services window and end it
