This is allowed because of extensive patent cross-licensing between
Microsoft and Novell. No other distro would dare to bind functions to
the Holy Windows Key.

What does it do, crash the system? 1/2 :-)

Please don't tell Darth Gates, but my keys with the
funny-looking nested squares are bound to produce a 'w' so I
can close Firefox windows with either the left or right
hand.
