e evo ti nesto ne temu "Windows" tastera, malo da se zanimas

Merging the conventions of the 80s Mac and the 70s Apple II also resulted in the
control key being left
to perform terminal emulation functions, while the command key was kept unique to commands used in the
graphical desktop environment.
Standard Apple key combinations, such as Command O to open a file, had no equal in the mixed up world of DOS, where every app invented its own key combinations. To simply open a file:
* WordPerfect used the command F7 + 3.
* WordStar used Ctrl + K + O.
* Lotus 1-2-3 used / to open the menu, W for Workspace + R for Retrieve.
* Microsoft Word used Esc to open the menu, T for Transfer + L for Load.
When Microsoft delivered Windows as its copycat it
simply mapped the standard key commands Apple had originated–including the familiar Command S, Z, X, C, V for save, undo, cut, copy, paste –
to control key combinations on the PC. This was another shortsighted PC mistake that would become an unsolvable annoyance for users.
However, since Microsoft had already assigned common key shortcuts to the control key, there was little for the new Windows key to do apart from opening the Start menu.
A decade after Microsoft copied Apple’s Command key but mixed it up with control, many Windows Enthusiasts think the problem lies with Apple’s “non standard” use of Command rather than control. It seems they
don’t understand why it is useful to draw a distinction between control-C, used to cancel an operation in a terminal environment, and Command-C, used to copy content in a desktop setting. There is no difference in Windows.
...and some PC hardware makers refused to add the keys to their keyboards, the most notable being IBM.
