Out of curiosity, how would a keyboard for a Mac user differ from a keyboard from a Windows or Linux user?

  There used to be one more meta key on a Mac keyboard (back when the windows key only opened the start menu; maybe that's changed), and the location of the control key is different in relation to the alt/option key and other meta keys. Also, the windows keyboards I used used to have the windows key only on one side, whereas the cmd key is something you always want on both sides. There are other minor differences like the naming of alt vs option or return vs enter, but those don't usually matter to a reasonably savvy user. Windows keyboards used to also come with near-mandatory print screen and scroll lock and page up/down and a couple other keys; dunno if those are still used. (Can you take a Windows screenshot these days without print screen or a custom app?)
