something like "I
don't like keyboards that put keys in between my CTRL and ALT keys,

a grump about ergonomics, with Win keys given as an example not just
yet another attempt to denigrate all things Windows.
Of course we've ignored one important fact about keyboards with "Windows
keys" - they're bloody awful. I could chew up and swallow a bag of yoghurt
pots and excrete a less flimsy keyboard than the ones on sale these days.
I scrounged a newish Mac keyboard for my PC at work - that's quite nice. I
might get one for home because the clunketty-clack of m Model M (see, it was
at least a little bit on-topic!) drives my fiance? nuts.
