KeyPreview now useable? (VS 2005)

I have always found the form-level KeyPreview feature near useless, as
there was a bug that allowed ComboBoxes to ignore it. In VS 2005 I've
confirmed that it now woks in Combos. Is there anything else to be
concerned about, or can we now use this to our heart's content when we
want to pre-process input?

Yes, that's the one. I find it incomprehensible that a company of
Microsoft's success can leave such an aberration unfixed for so long.
