No Joke!I would never buy any Lenovo as long as there is no Ctrl key in the bottom left corner, because I know for sure I would get mad every time I switch between this nettop and any of my other computers with standard keyboards, and I am sure LOTS of others think as I do. It is commercial suicide not to offer this, believe me (please). At last, but only halfheartedly and probably ineffective…

The problem with Fn is that it cannot be remapped without altering the BIOS, because it doesnt' appear as a separate key to the OS. See http://forums.cnet.com/5208-10152_102-0.html?threadID=348380, for example. This is easy to do in software.
