So let me see if I'm understanding this correctly. all programs that allow you to use the Windows key as a modifier will no longer be able to do this. When Windows 7 is released or is this a voluntary compliance with a Microsoft request. Either way, it is time for a letter writing campaign to Microsoft. Just let me know where I can send e-mail.

A lot of key conflicts will occur, as I said in my previous letter. I think that we should do something about it. Maybe, ask Microsoft to at least explain why they decided to do such a thing and explain to them what might happen due to their decision. About the text input window: I've noticed that the issue is fixed after I installed the scripts "41a". So ... a big THANKS! Keep up the good work, Doug! BTW: I like the option for disabling the announcement of the time stamp in the chat messages - it was getting pretty annoying sometimes. Best wishes!
