the icurve is a generic product made to support laptops, and not specifically restricted to apple laptops. how much does your dell weigh? a picture of it can't tell us that. you should contact griffin directly to see the maximum weight the icurve will hold if your laptop is on the heavy side...
I think mine weighes about 5 to 8 pounds.
EDIT: I just checked the website and it says that it supports windows but doesn't really put the weight on the site. I was hoping that I could get a wired Apple keyboard but the website doesn't say that it supports anything else but Mac so......

The Apple keyboard definitely supports windows, and the bootcamp drivers might even make the extra buttons work (but I'm not sure.). The only issue is that the windows(apple) key and the alt key are switched in position.

Yes it does support Dells. Even my new 9lb (and definitely feels like it) XPS which is, as I type, temporarily sitting where the MBP normally sits.
The difference between Dells and Apples is that you can open the notebook much wider on the Dells to get a more comfortable position on a desk using heavily slanted stands. The iCurve caters for the peculiarities (and the functional inferiorities) of Apple hardware and isn't necessarily the best choice for a Dell.
The PORT Ergo Station 4 ( http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?art=3614 ) is what I've bought to sit the XPS on. The ability to heavily slant the stand (and the ability of most Dells to open right up) provides you with more desk space and a more comfortable monitor position.
You should be able to find the PORT stand on Expansys.

So is there any special software I need for the keyboard to work or is it just a plug and go type thing? Also is it USB?
It's just plug and go - all I was saying is that you might want to try the bootcamp keyboard driver to see if you can get the volume and eject buttons to work - everything else will instantly.
