QWERTY issues

Good points, but on the QWERTY issue - many people argue that a simplified version, like the Dvorak keyboard could make things faster. We are of course used to QWERTY, but its layout derives from the quirks of early mechanical typewriters (it reduced jamming) and is no longer strictly necessary. Like the Windows issue, it becomes a matter of balancing the possibilities for improvement with the benefits gained from sticking with what we know.
