  This works 2.0 is best example of user interface
without interrupting 
 your train of thought and look as you go...And no playing games of 
 guessing buried in GUI menus, waiting for fancy features to load in 
 on demand. 
...except that it doesn't work _exactly_ as the Win keystrokes do (I don't
remember just what). 
...
   And keep that hands on that keyboard is BIG plus 
 especially without fuction keys and mouse. Yeah, I like that, too. The only time I
use a mouse (mostly) is in drawing
programs and #@$#%$ MS Schedule Plus, with which I have to use the mouse to
dial a number. Stupid!

...
   And another good example 
 was News Xpress had same user interface but the next version totally 
 lost it, using windows crap. :(  That is one another big reason I'm 
 looking at linux ongoing basis.   
I have MSW 2 on my laptop, as I'm developing a spreadsheet app for a
customer (old church with a non-Windows 386). It's legal to load multiple
versions if you own the program.
