I was just looking at the layout again and just noticed the new arrow keys placement. That is a very awkward placement. Is that definitive or can you do something like shorten the shift key to accommodate the UP arrow?
I suppose that would be another hard sell for deployments against netbooks with the regular placement of keys.
