Once configured properly, a bunch of minor edits to hid_apple.conf, the
full sized Apple USB keyboard works really well too. It sounds like
your MS might be easier but I already have this one and, now that it's
working well, I am reluctant to spend money on another keyboard at this
time. I've also been told that there is a no name USB kb at newegg for
about $13 that works great but shipping costs more than the keyboard
itself.

the laptop runs GNU/Linux distros really well. Windows is an absolute
dog on this thing and it is the OS that comes with the system by
default.
And in case you're worried, despite the Microsoft parentage, it works
well with Linux. In fact, the whole installation process was so unlike
Microsoft that I had to check twice it came from the same company.
Indeed, I've been avoiding MS hardware for years, but it seems I
shouldn't have. The biggest software company in the world makes good
hardware, how ironic ;)
