&gt; It just seems petty for Apple to ignore the standard and go it&#x27;s own way... then again, it is Apple.<p>Apple&#x27;s had their own layout for literally decades. There wasn&#x27;t a standard back then.<p>&gt; Having always used a standard british keyboard, the subtle differences, e.g. location of \, #, &quot;, `, ~, really slow me down.<p>You can adjust to it pretty quickly.
