I'm currently using a Dell usb keyboard on my G4 under Tiger, with a 
little app that remaps the "alt" and "ctrl" keys to "option" and 
"command".  Also remapped F12 to work as the cd-eject key.  Remapped 
Dashboard to fire under F8.

Worked nicely in a pinch when my Apple clear mushboard stopped working 
one night...

USB2 on my xp box is problematic - I have a Plextor external dvd burner 
mapped as X:.  Whenever I connect the flash card reader, Windows 
suddenly forgets that the burner is there until I unplug it and re-plug.
