Keyboard Layout isn't that huge, so why not put this one in future Windows
version, as a standard layout.
Windows has many Dvorak layouts builtin, but not the swedish, even if it
exists, grab it and put it in guys.

One place to get the Swedish Dvorak Keyboard Layout is
http://www.aoeu.info/?site=main&lang=eng .

My regards, ajso.
 
A little history...

This is the way the first typewriters were done. What happened is that the mechanical
hammers of the typewriter would get jammed. To slow down the typist, the QWERTY keyboard
was invented. To think companies actually require a minimum CPM to be typed on a keyboard
that was designed to slow down the typist.

Unfortunately, the QWERTY keyboard is the standard and it is hard to break "old" habits.

Then, who should we blame?
All those accepting qwerty now or the companies that still uses it?
 
Blame ?

No one. Anybody can purchase a Dvorak keyboard if they want to and use it. However, modern
typewriters might not be manufactured using a Dvorak layout. Then you can blame the
manufacturer. However, they can make the argument that the QWERTY is the "known" standard
and not Dvorak and thus not manufacturer a device with that layout.

Changing a standard that has been around for decades is a arduous uphill battle with little
chance for change.

Right. Because we all have to have Swedish Dvorak keyboards. Our
lives just are not complete without them.

Those who use it would be pleased to see it coming along with the cd
installation.
And everyone should use dvorak, and microsoft should be trying to affect
users to switch. Becouse it would be better for everyone, dvorak is proofed
to be much better than qwerty. And there is alot of swedish persons.
