(Having used Windows for 20 years, I had to go look up what Ctrl+Z does!) Saying "but we can document it" doesn't really change that fact; users can already look at the documentation on MSDN to learn that Ctrl+Break or Ctrl+C will send a SIGINT (Ctrl+Z sets the EOF indicator, which is even more obtuse).
