These M$ induced keyboard layout changes are a PITA. The US designers of
the Windows keys (who the f**k needs them, or even knows their
function?) certainly didn't spend a single second thinking about other
locales that don't have brackets/braces/backslash as a direct key, but
need Alt-Gr for it. I'm still using hand-selected old keyboards that
have the Alt-Gr keys still in place, where they have been for > 10 years.
We may be grateful we still don't have a Bill-key instead of 'G'...

Andreas
