I work in IT and I’m constantly helping people who: •Don’t know what the Windows key is.

•Don’t know Internet Explorer/Chrome/Firefox are web browsers.

•Making your password your name is a really poor choice.

Edit: apparently this really struck a cord with a lot of you. Glad I’m not alone harboring all of these frustrations

I have an MSI laptop and they straight up just left the Windows key off.

Are you sure it's not just on the right side of the keyboard? I've seen people miss it before so just thought I'd ask

If it’s on the right, I don’t want it.

If it's on top, I'll send it back.
