This is off-topic, I know:
I think you miss out quite many nice keyboard shortcuts in Windows if
you "disabled" those keys. Just some example: W-r, W-e, W-d, W-m,
W-Pause/Break etc. Also, it is great to have it as an extra modifier
key in Windows in general if you have a program that can bind
commands/programs to it.
I am sure you know about F10 doing the same as a single left Alt key
press, and I know it is not exactly as convenient as you cannot press
it at the same time as another key, for example Alt-f, for activating
the File menu. Maybe you should try out Drew's menu navigator thingy
(which uses icicles, which in turn I am not comfortable with, but...).
Anyway, we could discuss this off-list instead. Things like keyboard
shortcuts and other productivity enhancements and time savers is of
great interest to me.
