Here is the standard Russian phonetic keyboard that the English speaking community has used for the past 15 years:[url]http://vkreynin.wordpress.com/2010/01/10/russian-phonetic-keyboard/-Why does windows8 not use this keyboard, it is complete and easier to remember, for example at the place of the English w is the Russian b, both are pronounced the same way.
