    I was admiring this Apple bluetooth mini keyboard for the longest time at Bestbuy, but reading the box it stated for Mac OS only :mad: . After months of passing it by today I asked the head BB geek if there was any way to get it to work with Vista, after a big powwow with the other geeks he decided "It's bluetooth it should work" so I bought it and it linked it to my Vista machine easily, I'am very happy! This keyboard is "off the handle"! :) :)

    Pretty much any keyboard should work automatically on Windows, even before installing any special drivers. Besides, it has to have some from of compatibility with Vista since Macs can use Windows through BootCamp, and a lot of Mac owners use both Windows and OS X, so it'd be really dumb for Apple to not make it work with Vista.

    Whats dumb is they list Mac OS as the only OS it will work with on the box, this most likely scares away a lot of sales.
