Calculate with some 99%. Every PC offered comes with a german keyboard by default and only few vendors allow to change to an english layout. This holds true for even smaller markets like german- speaking switzerland. > However, it is my guess that the standard US-English layout is > common enough that it makes sense to leave this as-is. The reason, germans don't scream is, characters are almost the same on the german vs. the english keyboard. Punctuation ()<>"ยง$ is totally different, though and then, there are umlauts ... many people can't type their name on a english layout correctly.
