Sorry. My cynicism is showing. But that’s a for-real headline.

According to a great little item picked up by WalkingCat on Twitter, MS may put a new key on its keyboards, to the right of the right-Alt key, that invokes the emoji panel. You can see the same panel right now by holding down the Windows key and pressing the period.

One more reason to buy Surface products, eh?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Emojis, Surface keyboard, Surface
