May I suggest you just don't want to consider the possibly that you might be using an inferior layout? This is not a sample size of one or three. Read these postings. As some of the other postings state, the economist's "evidence" was worthless. They also have good links to other evidence. One is www.dvorakint.org
I don't know of one person who switched and regretted it. ALL the people who posted here and said they switched back did so because of what was the standard, not because the liked the other one better. 100% is pretty good.
I'm the one who wrote the Delphi program he was referring to. If anyone wants a the program or source, they can email me and I'll send them the source or binary.
The reason I wrote it was that our lab computers were locked up. Yes, I know you can switch layouts the way you mentioned, but Dvorak still has to be loaded the first time with the Control Panel. Most people don't know about that though, and this simple app allowed me to peacefully co-write a program with a QWERTY friend.

I was the one who posted the Dvorak on MSNatural comment (that was before I got a real login here)
I hate the Elite too. I also have an earlier model.
