1) a lot of people hide it away, or even disable, when using windows, as most people dont need it and it causes problems, when the lng gets switched (in poland it used to be very common quite a few years ago, that Y and Z were switching because of some key shortcut that was unnknown to most users) - i think that feature is good only for truly biligual people (like people living in foreign country), and there are relatively few of them 2) stationary PC's don't have batteries, and this is supposed to be for old computers in the first place, not netbooks...
12) the games issue has been started today in another thread :) 2010/2/17 Mike Nokel <mno...@gmail.com>: >> Hi. > > I have found some time to install it on my computer.
