Windows: If you use multiple OSes and prefer using an Apple keyboard you'll know that many Windows key options such as PrtSc do not work in Windows. Apple Wireless Keyboard Helper is a free executable program that restores many of those keys.
Despite the name of the software, it works with both wired and wireless Apple keyboards. After running the program these combinations will be accessible in Windows:
F3: PrintScreen
F4: Task Manager
F7-F9: iTunes control
F10-F12: System volume Control
Eject button toggles Fkeys/Functions.
Fn + F key triggers function (useful when in F keys mode)
Fn + Backspace = Delete
Fn+ Eject: Eject CD
If you ever use an Apple keyboard in Windows you should definitely give this little program a try.

Wow, if only I could have found this earlier this year when I was desperately trying to get my Apple Keyboard working properly on my Windows machine. Might just plug it back in and put the G15 away for a little bit.
Ate there apps to take keyboards the other way. Microsoft keyboards for Max?
