I'm using a keyboard without the Windows key right now.
No problem. If I want to get to the Start Menu, I just hit <Alt><Esc>.
So a keyboard without a Windows key won't help here.
By the way, if you want a keyboard without those extra keys, I think
my IBM enhanced 101 key keyboard is the best around. It does weigh
5 pounds but it's built like a rock. It costs over $50, but it has
buckling spring mechanical switches and comes with a PS/2 to AT adaptor.
