Depends how you define "major".  The basic qwertyuiop is, so far as I have 
seen up to now, the same, but other characters are different; and that is a 
real pain.  I can't use the command line with a US keyboard because, although 
I now know where to find " and @, I haven't got a clue where | (pipe, not the 
9th letter of the alphabet) or ' or` are.  It doesn't help, of course, that 
my physical keyboard is GB (or rather, English, since as pointed out it 
doesn't cover Welsh or either form of Gaelic). :-(
