That is true. However on my machines this is enabled. The inserts still behave as I described. The only point I was making is that on a laptop or netbook when trying to use the default layout, things do work a little differently depending on the make of the machine.

This is found under control panel, keyboard, special keys. Arrow up once on this submenu and you'll see "enable both insert keys. It will say on or off. Press enter to change it to the other.
