Honestly, are you trying to be a troll? Because that's how your reply 
comes off as. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so anyway...

I never implied that this particular keyboard had anything to do with 
one's operating system preferences. If you read PFU's website, you'll 
read that these keyboards were designed with UNIX users in mind. And if 
you read Wikipedia article on Caps Lock (or just do a Google search) you 
might read that the Caps Lock really is depreciated no matter what OS 
you use.
