Will this work?

Have an iMac sitting withthe new slim one, and my huge Pc keyboard taking up a lot of space compared to it beside..

And the key sounds like gun shots going off compared to the Mac on

It works, some keys (like Print Scr) don't but you can get software to map it in the registry.

The key with [2@] printed on the Mac Keyboard - gives [2"]
and ['"] gives ['@]. That the only issue for me... there are some remapping utilities, but I haven't seen the need for them.

Or just set windows to use an american keyboard layout.

Wait what? US keyboard mappings? *tries*

Ahh that works for the "@ transpostion, but now hash symbol replaces £.

I use @ more often. What the keycombo for the £ on US... *googles*

There is none - but i have the language bar set up to flick between US and UK now to get the elusive £
