stupid thinkpad Fn key

This is really annoying - no way to remap ThinkPad Fn key to do Windows key and IBM ThinkPad Keyboard Customizer Utility is really lame: it only maps shift,ctrl,alt and no option to touch Fn key ...

there is some level of customization avaialble on Windows 2000 when editing registry (detailed instructions http://www.pitt.edu/~kconover/keithbet.htm and official MS page http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/input/w2kscan-map.asp) but it seems that Fn key ia handled by ThinkPad driver internally .. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1014389848 so why they do not make an utility to have Fn key remapped and (so to swap Ctrl and Fn keys) and to make it work as Windows key?????
