Keyboard Layout for Windows 

---

Now you can have the same easy-to-use phonetic keyboard layout you came to trust on your Mac when using Windows. I understand that you would rather be using your Mac, but sometimes we simply have no control over these things. So while you have to put up with Windows, at least you do not have to put up with a typewriter-style keyboard layout!

Created on Windows XP using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) Version 1.3.4022

Should be compatible with Windows 2000 and XP (limited testing performed on XP only)
