The keyboard mapping on an Apple keyboard is fixable in seconds with
a great little utility called SharpKeys from www.RandyRants.com
I'm using that on both my Mac Mini with a KVM for my desktop PC and
for Parallels on my MacBook. It literally only takes a minute to
remap the keys the way you want them. Personally, there aren't many
keys I move around, as I don't mind the positions for most of them.
But for those who really want the keyboard layouts to match up, this
is the way to go. It's simple, quick, and free.

The keyboard issue mismatch issue drove me slightly crazy. Part of the
problem is Windows isn't bundled with maps of the Apple keyboards.
This is probably fixable, but it's a bit fiddly. See the following

If you've got the deskspace, I would strongly recommend doing what I
did and just buying a standard USB Windows PC keyboard and plugging it
into the USB port on your Mac, because that works great. You can leave
both keyboards plugged in simultaneously, and use the Windows one
whenever you're in Windows.

What kind of keyboard are you using? If it is the Apple keyboard
then the
problem may be that there's no num lock on that keyboard so
you're just
typing in numbers when you use the numpad. This is just my
guess. Try
switching to the laptop keyboard layout in Window-eyes and use it.
