Yogh is indeed strange. Wynn is the most irritating loss though; couldn't we have at least kept the name rather than "double-yoo"?

That would be convenient. Microsoft would have had to rename the ⊞ key then lol.

      Maybe you didn't realize until now that it is indeed Wynn-DOS as in W-Disk Operating System

    Why, isn't that just called 'Super' key?

      Why would it be? It’s the Windows key, not Microsoft’s rebadge of the Super key.

      I like Apple's thinking - Option key

      Super key could arguably apply to the shift keys, because you are using a super set of letters (or am I reaching too far)

        You're not though. The original letters are not available, so uppercase is not a superset of lowercase. (Unless you're just stating your opinion that the set of uppercase letters happens to be super)
