I just happen to have one laying around (the older style with black keys) and it would keep me from having to buy one... and it would look cooler.

Yes. Command will become the Windows key. Volume keys even work, too.

the white ones work (wired and wireless) - the only thing that doesn't is the eject key on the wired keyboard and the eject/volume keys on the wireless one.

so, chances are that the older ones will works as well.

I'm using it on my PC right now. Only the eject key won't work. You can't use the keys "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause Break" that are found on PC keyboards but are F13-15 on the Apple Keyboard.

There is a program called AppleKeys for windows that will map F13-15 on the mac keyboard to the keys listed above.
