switch cmd and alt in windows keyboard

Using a windows keyboard, I found myself mistyping cmd and alt/option a lot, because the layout of the macbook pro is the opposite. The easiest way to fix this is to install double command, which is better than KeyRemap4MacBook.

No reboot required, and just go to system preference, select "Command Key acts as Option Key" and "Option Key acts as Command Key".
