So, what happens if you plug a non-Apple USB keyboard into a Mac running MacOS? Does it get all the keys right?
No, it asks you to push the key to the right of the left hand shift and sets the layout based on that and then promptly puts @ on shift-2.
Which is why I had this "Sodding Arrogant Californian Company Doesn't Bother To Get Its Localisations Right Even When It Has A Few Million Overseas Customers" reaction (which I was very frustrated about when I went to the Mac user groups because there were 0 users who hadn't grown up in the Mac ghetto or used a Mac as their first box).
