Who are the "geniuses" at Lenovo who are trying to destroy the legacy of the awesome Thinkpad keyboard? As a Thinkpad user I expect a certain keyboard layout. If that layout is changed, there one less reason for me to buy a Thinkpad as my next laptop.
You can swap the Ctrl & Fn keys (as you always could) via BIOS, and I'm guessing the copilot key can just be rebound in software. (If not officially I'm sure someone will make a utility)
Theoretically I can map any keyboard layout to anything else, but what's the point of getting a Thinkpad then if it doesn't look and feel like a Thinkpad anymore?
