Is it just me or am I so unlucky that I always end up with the village idiot every time I'm forced to shop in PC world? I asked one of the staff today if the Apple USB keyboard worked under Windows XP, I was 99% sure but I wanted to check before I bought it, he looked on the box, saw that the system requirements were a Mac running OSX and instantly said "No", he then proceeded to argue with me that they definately don't work and said he'd check with his (scoff) "Senior technical staff", who also obviously just looked at the box and said no, a few more minutes crapping on about me not being able to bring it back if it doesn't work I just picked it up, paid for it, brought it home, plugged it in and lo and behold it works like a charm, even the volume buttons and Apple key (which turns into the Windows Key).

So, fantastic keyboard, nice and weighty and takes up very little desk space, well recommended.
