Wait people wont have excuse for 15 failed password attempts locking out their account due to caps lock? IMHO - Caps Lock has been a poor taste joke all of these years!

Let's hope that all laptop manufacturers start making trackpads like that.
Having more than 1 physical mouse button is pointless on a laptop.

So now, when I miss the Shift key, I have my task interrupted by a search window?

It'll be just like the Windows key- useful when you press it purposefully, and annoying when you don't.

READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT!

The "CAP LOCK KEY" is still there but they changed the default to do a "Search" instead. YES, YOU CAN CHANGE IT BACK IF YOU WANT! SO NOT REALLY GONE!

For those who feel that they must have that caps lock key back, Google notes that those with the Cr-48 notebook can click on the wrench icon, go into System section inside settings and change the Modifier Key from Search back to Caps Lock.

BY REMOVING CAPS KEY THEY STRIP US OF ABILITY TO EMPHASIZE OUR OPINION OVER INTERNET. BY DOING THAT THEY CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE. THEY WILL KEEP SUBTLY ALTERING THE WAY WE THINK UNTIL WE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AD CONSUMING PRODUCT.

Caps Lock is important to me while working; drafting engineering drawings. I don't mind the new function but would appreciate if the Caps Lock would be available in another convenient way. Say Ctrl - Caps Lock.

While this is OK for the soccer moms posting their pics on facebook, I support at least 3 applications that use all caps in entry fields, plus more that is a standard to use all caps in the business (hospital).

For everyone complaining, relax. This will only apply to notebooks using Google's Chrome OS - which the VAST majority of notebooks will not. Just like you do not see off the shelf notebooks with linux very much
