This is a follow-up to the previous post but indicates probably a much more serious problem than the one there which was due only to me using a particular key for my Administrator password.

The English-US Windows 2008 installation installs the US keyboard and doesn't give you during the installation the opportunity of selecting a different keyboard.

So you need to go to Regional Settings after the installation is complete in order to add a different keyboard - in this case the Finnish/Swedish keyboard.

When you do there is a "Keyboard Layout Preview" which shows which keys on the keyboard are what.

Now I have looked at the Finnish and the two different Swedish keyboard previews and ALL of them are incorrect.

I have at work old and new (IBM and Lenovo) ThinkPads with Finnish keyboards; a MacBook with a Finnish keyboard AND and desktop keyboard (Lenovo). At home I have various MS keyboards. ALL without exception have a middle keyboard row that has three keys to the right of the L.

That "Keyboard layout preview" shows a keyboard which while otherwise correct shows TWO keys to the right of the L.

It also shows three keys to the right of the P in the top row of (normal) keys whereas in all my keyboards there are only two keys there.

In other words the keyboard definition used by Windows 2008 for Finnish/Swedish is incorrect because the final key in the second row has been mapped to be beyond the final key in the top row.

I can't believe that no-one has seen this up to now.

Can it be that this error is only in the MSDN version (downloaded only a few days ago)? It seems unlikely.
