I would like to buy a mac keyboard, the new one with the aluminum trim and flat, short stroke keys. Seen here on Amazon:

How well will this work? Will the multimedia keys work at all? Are there drivers somewhere that I can download for this to work better?

Yes, the keyboard will work with PCs. I'm not sure about the media keys, though. There is a piece of software for this, input remapper. It's designed mostly for macbook and macbook pro keyboards, but it will help with this. Especially because the order of ctrl win alt keys is different on the mac keyboard, you can rearange their keymap with input remapper, fixing this. Because it's designed for macbooks, and not standard PCs, set a restore point before installing just in case.

You guys got XP to recognize it right away? I've never had a problem using my Apple keyboard and mouse before (on Win98 and Win2000), but at my current job, I have XP, and it wouldn't recognize the keyboard. I had to get a little piece of shareware to get it to work.
