Although there are exceptions, the answer, in general, is no.

There are more global hotkeys in Windows® XP and 2000 than there were in Windows® 95 and 98, and these hotkeys may help some users. But overall, each generation of Windows® adds complexity and inconsistency to the keyboard interface. For example, in every version of Windows® since ME, keyboard navigation for "Help" and "Find Files" has been, at best, Byzantine. The number of techniques that users must learn has also multiplied:

In Windows® 3.1-based word processors, users had to master only one technique to navigate to the menu bar, the application system menu, and the document system menu. In Windows® XP, users must memorize three different techniques to access the same menus.

In computing, PC Card (originally PCMCIA, or PCMCIA Card) is the form factor of a peripheral interface designed for laptop computers. The PC Card standard (as well as its successor ExpressCard) were defined and developed by a group of industry-leading companies called the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). The United States computer industry created the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association to challenge the Japanese JEIDA memory card devices by offering a competing standard for memory-expansion cards. In 1991 the two standards merged as JEIDA 4.1 or PCMCIA 2.0 (PC Card).

PC Card was originally designed for computer memory expansion, but the existence of a usable general standard for notebook peripherals led to many kinds of devices being made available in this form. Typical devices included network cards, modems, and hard disks. The cards were also used in early digital SLR cameras, such as the Kodak DCS 300 series. The original use, as memory expansion, is no longer common.

Many notebooks in the 1990s came with two type-II slots with no barrier in between (allowing installation of two type-II cards or one, double-sized, type-III card). With the removal of legacy ports, most contemporary notebooks only feature a single type-II card slot.[cit

A computer device packaged in a small card about the size of a credit card and conforming to the PCMCIA standard.

All PC Card devices use an identical 68 pin dual row connecting interface. All are 85.6 mm long and 54.0 mm wide. This is the same size as a credit card. The form factor is also used by the Common Interface form of Conditional Access Modules for DVB broadcasts.

The original standard was defined for both 5 volt and 3.3 volt cards. The 3.3 V cards have a key on the side to protect them from being damaged by being put into a 5 V-only slot. Some cards and some slots operate at both voltages as needed. The original standard was built around an 'enhanced' 16-bit ISA bus platform.

Type I

Cards designed to the original specification (version 1.x) are type I and feature a 16-bit interface. They are 3.3 mm thick. Type-I PC Card devices are typically used for memory devices such as RAM, flash memory, OTP, and SRAM cards.

Type II

Type-II PC Card devices feature a 16- or 32-bit interface. They are 5.0/5.5 mm thick. Type-II cards introduced I/O support, allowing devices to attach an array of peripherals or to provide connectors/slots to interfaces for which the host computer had no built-in support. For example, many modem, network and TV cards use this form factor. Due to their thinness, most Type II interface cards feature miniature interface connectors on the card which are used together with a dongle; a short cable that adapts from the card's miniature connector to an external full-size connector.

Type III

Type-III PC Card devices are 16-bit or 32-bit. These cards are 10.5 mm thick, allowing them to accommodate devices with components that would not fit type I or type II height. Examples are hard disk drive cards, and interface cards with full-size connectors that do not require dongles (as is commonly required with type II interface cards).

Type IV

Type-IV cards, introduced by Toshiba, have not been officially standardized or sanctioned by the PCMCIA. These cards are 16 mm thick.

well, PC card is removable module for portable computers standardized by PCMCIA. Also known as "PCMCIA cards," PC Cards containing a modem, network adapter, sound card, radio transceiver, solid state disk or hard disk can be plugged in while the computer is turned on ("hot swapped"). Early laptops were more limited than their desktop counterparts, and PC Cards provided a mechanism for internal expansion. For more information, visit www.pcmcia.org.
