Haha, right on, mate! I share your lust for this magnificent piece of artwork tongue.gif As a matter of fact, it's built of Apple's trademark material nowadays = ALUMINUM drool.gif drool.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

My keyboard is on its way to my place soon, will share a photo here once it's up and operational. Anyways, regarding your question as to whether it'll run on Vista, answer's a complete YES. All you need to do is Plug N' Play, and it's ready to use like any other generic USB keyboard. Do note, some custom Windows-based function keys like Print Screen, Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Windows Command (between Ctrl and Alt) will require the Windows driver from the Leopard OS Bootcamp disk. For your convenience as a fellow enthusiast of this beautiful keyboard, I've attached the file you require to this post. Just download, unzip and execute it in any Windows environment, no windows will pop-up, just wait a minute or two and try the Print Screen function to tell whether it's done wink.gif Below are some of the replaced function keys in Vista on the keyboard :

APPLE KEYBOARD = WINDOWS KEYBOARD
F1-F12 = F1-F12
F13 = -
F14 - Print Screen
F15 = Scroll Lock
F16-F19 = -

Delete = Backspace
Return = Enter
Command = Command (Brings up Start Menu)
Clear = NumLock

Hope that helps you! happy.gif
