    I have encountered some odd keyboard behavior today. I am not at all sure that parallels is involved, but let me describe it.

    I attached an external PC keyboard to my MBP. This keyboard has 2 'Windows' keys, just beyond the 'alt' keys on either side of the spacebar. I expected the 'Windows' keys to behave as the Command key for OS X.

    In OS X, the right 'Windows' key works perfectly as Command. The Left Windows Keyl doesn't do anything .

    If I run Ukelele and press either 'Windows' key, Ukelele indicates that the Command key has been pressed.

    If I start an XP session in Parallels (3036 build) however, the Left Windows Key works perfectly, as the start menu key. The right windows key however does something similar to right clicking on the XP desktop.

    Has anyone seen behavior like this?

    Thanks
    John
