I am using XP and was thrilled to enable Russian. However, I would love a
keyboard layout template.
1) Both Russian layouts shipped with Windows can be looked at
(and printed out) here:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.aspx
2) Most of people living outside Russia, do NOT use that standard
layout - we like to type in Russian (with "RU" in taskbar)
the same way we type in English (with "EN" in taskbar):
- get letter 'A' by presing button with 'A' drawn on it
- O-O, T-T, K-K, ....
Especially because we do not have such physical keyboards that people
in Russia have - with Russian letters drwan on the side of the
buttons...
This way of typing Russian is called 'phonetic' (homophonic)
layout and can be setup in 10 minutes (one-time job) -
please see "How to type in Russian on any keyboard" section on my site
