  Microsoft: “We’ll pay manufacturers to add a new key specifically for our latest unwanted feature that we’re trying to shove down people’s throats.”

  Linux users: “Cool, a new key that we can use for actually useful things”

    Yeah, reading this news made me realize that this key is going to be pretty much objectively less useful on Windows, because Microsoft won’t let you rebind keys.

    I mean, presumably there’s going to be someone who finds it useful – whatever this key is going to do on Windows – and maybe Microsoft puts in more effort to integrate it into the OS than what you can easily replicate on Linux.

    But there’s also going to be lots of users, who will have no use for the functionality – whatever this key is going to do on Windows. And for those users, it’s just a completely useless key on their keyboard…
