It would be nice for Microsoft to support the characters Æ and Ø by being
able to type AltGr-Ä and AltGr-Ö, and to recommend them to be printed on
keyboards.

Today Swedish journalists and others change spelling of Danish and Norwegian
names containing Æ and Ø into Ä and Ö, with is pronounced the same, but is
considered very bad in Denmark and Norway. Linux and Mac already have similar
keyboard possibility for Swedish keyboard setting.

Thank you.

We sympathize with your problem but
1. It concerns software, not hardware (because any
key can be configured to any character in the repertoire
made available by the operating system.)
2. The WinXP OS will not be modified as you want
because Microsoft has stopped marketing it (wanting
future purchasers to buy Vista or its successor.)
