SafeBoot supports WACOM powered devices as well with pre-boot on-
screen keyboards. We don''t generally allow users to skip the pre-boot
and just login to Windows, that implies the FED key's stored on the
disk somewhere - after all, if the machine can boot without anyone
entering anything, everything it needs to boot must be stored on the
disk in a way the machine can read it itself. If the machine can read
it, surely anyone who gets access to the machine can as well?

The latest build of V5 I think supports about 40 different OSK's
including Japan, Korean, Chinese, Thai and most western languages. It
also detects what physical layout is installed and displays the right
OSK to match, though of course the user can go and pick another one if
they need to.

If you need a special layout you can even create one of your own using
an XML editor. The instructions are in the admin guide.
