widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0). Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0). Is this a trend on
Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?

seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different

How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X? Thanks.
