Why should I not use the Windows key? It is on my keyboard and is a wasted
key so I may just as well use it to assign shortcuts. So what if that is the
way it is done in Windows?

If it makes it easier for someone coming from Windows to assign Win+D to
show his desktop or Win+F1 for help or Win+F3 for search or Win+E for
Konquerer then why the hell not?

Please continue in explaining to me why I should drop all my Windows habits
just because I am on working on Linux? It is not like I drop all my Linux
habits just because I'm working on Windows. I have setup doskey to alias
ifconfig, ls, cp and mv to their Windows equivalents to name just a few.

Sure I much rather use Linux but there are things I just am not able to do
in Linux or are easier to do in Windows. But slowly I am replacing my
Windows XP desktop for my SuSE Linux 9.3 KDE desktop. Sometimes even finding
myself a bit lost on the Windows desktop...
