Yes, this is absolutely wrong, because the key positions are not the way
they are on the Macintosh keyboard, and therefore you need to reprogram your
brain when touch-typing using the Windows keyboard vs. the Macintosh
keyboard.

It is possible to swap the keys in hardware, and a smart KVM switch would do
that!
