"Ubuntu is not Windows, and is not intended to be compared to or mimic the
Windows OS in any way."
This is ridiculous. Windows simply does a better use of a keyboard, as Ubuntu
currently have a "black hole" in that area.
Completely *aside* from other operating systems:
I installed Ubuntu on my friend's computer, and while trying it, he - out of
curiosity - tried to press the key, just to see what happens. He was cheerless
when he discovered it does nothing. He didn't know a shortcut to open a main
menu and reached for a mouse every time.
"I don't see the problem. This is easily configured using Keyboard shortcuts."
It is a problem, as majority of users doesn't ever see that options.
Ubuntu should come with a *best* set of available configuration options,
lack of those is an usability mistake.
IMHO Ubuntu Dx Team should look at this and see what would be the best use of
the key.
Gnome-Do maybe, with a "first-time" tutorial?
