not quite true. There are several keys that od not work and some that are reversed (i.e. @ and "). Part of this is because the Mac keyboard has additional keys (i.e. \ is an additional key).
It kind of works but when using applications on windows that have a lot of keyboard shortcuts (i.e. Premiere) its a real pain the the arse

What language keyboard are you using? this is not true with the US English keyboard.
You can fix this in windows however by re-mapping the keys in windows.

I use my Windows keyboard on my mac with a KVM. I just switch thinking of shortcuts when I switch to the Mac. It is not much of a pain.
Just google around a bit and you can install a modified version of BootCamp that only includes the keyboard drivers ... The build in my a sig is a PC, running windows only, using an apple keyboard
All the OSX style volume changing and eject animations work ... and all the keys are properly mapped
