Question Mac Keyboards

Hi all.
I run a PC but was recently at university using iMacs. They were ok, but running XP so I couldn't get a good Mac experience. I did however LOVE the keyboards! But does anyone know if a PC running XP can support an Apple keyboard?! I know it sounds shallow but I love the design, they work great and feel good too, and I've got a bit of birthday money to get shut of :)

Thanks, Harry!

Wouldn't know if they work or not, but I agree they are nice but murder to keep clean

They do yes, but you can struggle with certain buttons like the lack of a start button etc.

Well the iMacs were running XP and I could bring up the start menu alright. Plus I've heard of a software that will switch buttons around (ie swapping ctrl with shift etc). But if I was to buy one, and whacked it into my PC, it would function properly, albeit slightly differently?

IF you're going to have the keyboard you might as well have the whole thing

Well I don't have that much birthday money! Plus, there isn't really any point I don't think. The software's all the same for Mac & PC isn't it?
