My supervisor has some keyboards just like that and another 'vulnerability'
these have is setup difficulty. At some stage I think he spent hours just
trying to get this to work (despite prior experience). I can't recall if he
reached out for the IT staff at the end, but this was somehow resolved. They
say that Microsoft has a notoriety when it comes to making its own products
compatible with one another (examples: Zune-Vista, IE7-Frontpage).

Windows -- when you can spare time tinkering with point and click menus that do
nothing and aren't verbose enough to say what's wrong...
