I can almost get all those keys down except the down arrow. Perhaps with a pencil in my mouth, I can get it. This does work with Vista Service Pack 4 doesn’t it? :-)
damn, i need one more finger :D
I managed to do it. The left hand was easy. With the right hand: thumb to down, pinky to home, index to enter, and middle to F8.
