[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 868495, member: 51635"] It's not Microsoft's job to change keyboard layouts. Manufacturers can have the key say whatever they want. As the term "backspace" has migrated from typewriters to PC keyboards, I guess nobody has seen a need to change the name. Contrary to your previous comment about the function of the key, the "backspace" key goes back.. a space. Again, not a behavior Microsoft controls. Any PC maker could suddenly decide to make the backspace key do something COMPLETELY different (drivers allow for such things), but perhaps no PC keyboard maker feels the key needs to behave differently than it does.
