Look at your keyboard. Real close. What does the letter that is printed 
on the keyboard say? Does it say "h" or does it say "H"? ;-)

When you press the "H" key (as it is denoted on your keyboard) the VM 
reports this as the "H" key which is then interpreted by Windows to be 
the lowercase "h" character, which it reports as well. Similarly, if you 
would press Shift-H, it would report that you pressed the shift key, the 
"H" key which then resulted in the uppercase "H" character. Makes sort 
of sense dunnit? ;-)

Because the Windows VM is fully Unicode capable and produces both 
MacRoman as well as UTF-32 for maximum compatibility.

Yes, indeed. You are pressing that shift key, no? Why would the VM not 
report that? Might as well decide not to report the Q key ;-)
