Whoa! 12" PowerBook has a Windows/Right-Click keyboard button?

[Snowball]

This is a potentially hot topic ! Maybe Apple put this in for Virtual PC, maybe it hints that Macs will run Windows, maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing...
But anyway, see the attached image, taken directly from the just-released developer note. At the bottom right are two keys very familiar to Windoze users.... Is this the first time Apple has included these keys?

Did you checked it with KeyCaps? (Apps>Utilities)

Check what exactly with KeyCaps?

I just looked at that picture again and it looks pretty blurry so I'll post a zoomed in version.

Also, anyone with a 12" PowerBook: Do you have Virtual PC? If so, can you customize the keyboard preferences option with the Windows key?

And secondly, can you push the contextual menu key in the Mac OS and get a virtual ctrl-click?

Another little interesting fact: The 12" PowerBook will be able to support 1 GB of RAM when the memory manufacturers make the chips small enough. See the next attached picture, same source. (I keep attaching all these pictures )
The same thing happened to my WallStreet - they eventually made the chips small enough so I could have 1 GB of RAM.

The edit post button doesn't allow you to attach pictures? Mods: why not?

You can check with Keycaps which keys changes when you hold a certain button. (example: if you hold Shift, the letters on Keycaps turn into capitols)

They are only showing how the keys will map to a "standard" pc keyboard given the "alternate" mapping. Makes sense as more and more pc's now use usb and the two keyboards are essentially the same (with a few keycaps changed to protect the innocent).
