Horrible Keyboard layout

My Preceision 360 arrived today and everyhting is as expected except the keyboard. Tho it has extra buttons and usb ports... the layout of Home,End,PageUp,PageDown,Delete,Insert keys has changed...

This is so frustrating.... Why do they have to do this. Its stupid. Do they know how we must use the keyboard... I am so furious... I wish i could take them to some standards comittee and repremanded for not conforming to the "standard layout".

(Fumes coming out of ears and nose....)

ISO/IEC 9995

Part 1: General principles governing keyboard layouts
Part 2: Alphanumeric section
Part 3: Complementary layouts of the alphanumeric zone of the alphanumeric section
Part 4: Numeric section
Part 5: Editing section
Part 6: Function section
Part 7: Symbols used to represent functions
Part 8: Allocation of letters to the keys of a numeric keypad

Do you have already called Dell and asked for a replacement (standard keyboard)?

I totally agree. I just bought an E1505 because my 5150 power jack broke, btu I would have just fixed the old one if I'd known the stupid keyboard layout was different. It's enough to make me consider returning it. I can't type right on it, and I can't find the delete key which I need constantly. It's totally counterintuitive to put delete, page up, etc. at the top of the keyboard. I hate it.
