I prefer keyboards with them, because I use the Windows keyboard
shortcuts frequently. I seldom use a mouse during daily use except
while browsing because keyboard shortcuts are so much faster. With the
Windows keys, I have instant access to Explorer, the Run and Find
dialogs, Device Manager, and can get to the desktop in one move by
pressing Win-D in Win98 and 2K. Because of my reliance on keyboard
shortcuts, I welcome the additional key even if it does force
manufacturers to reduce the size of keys like Ctrl and Alt. Just a
personal preference, though, and I know many of you will disagree.
