Windows 8 does seem to make heavy use of keyboard key combinations, but I think
most of them use the Windows Key. We've been testing our software in Windows 8
where I work for the past year or so, and I've started to get used to some of
its key combinations - so when I go back to Windows 7, sometimes I try to use
one of Windows 8's key combinations by habit. I still prefer Windows 7 though.
