Dammit. Windows is unuseable without a Windows Key. I can't do Win+E. I can't do Win+M.

And I miss my Linux multiple desktops. The Microsoft PowerToy sucks. Clicking on an app's taskbar button should switch to the desktop with that app, not move it to the current desktop. Dammit.

I never, ever use the Windows key, and I can use windows nonetheless.

I use to to shut down windows (in the English version):

Windows -> U -> U

Very fast.
(and no risk of it going into standby which locks my system completely.)

I'd be on Linux if only my girlfriend would come by and fix my wireless internet. I am not smart enough. Normally, ethernet cable suffices, but I am sick and bedridden right now, and therefore consigned to wireless.

I missssss her.

Being sick sucks. Except for the part where you skip work for a day and stay in bed. But being sick sucks.

Ah, but that's for closing windows, not for shutting down windows.

I think that Windows will shut down if you hit alt+f4 enough. Or at least give you the right dialogue box.

Another reason Windows sucks: I keep selecting text in Gaim and middle-clicking elsewhere and the text isn't pasting. Dammit. I want my two Linux clipboards.

I don't think I've ever pressed the windows key on purpose.

It's really annoying if you accidently press it though...

Why don't you bind the middleclick key to paste?

i virtually never use the windows key.

now, if you were *****ing about not having two mouse buttons, then i'd agree with you. I can't understand why you wouldn't have at least two mouse buttons. the windows and linux world understand this...

It appears to disable Open Link in Background Tab in Opera when I do that. It probably also disables Close Middle-Clicked Tab, but I unset it too quickly to check.

Ctrl+Esc opens the Start Menu just fine, but it doesn't do anything in concert with other keys.
