Extremely easy to do. Usually just a single (S)FTP copy. It's not
like you have to carry around a disk-pack or something...

Constantly asking for special treatment (browsers, keyboards and such)
just to use a VMS system, is not doing VMS any good. VMS has to play
along using the same interfaces and equipment (such as keyboard layouts
according to standard client equipment) that is used anywhere else.
Otherwise VMS will just be seen as something that it’s better to get
rid of.  A lot of other parts in that, of course, but why put more
wood on the fire?
