Slight change of topic, but related question.

I've been offered a laptop by a workmate, (at a very good price) but it comes from the US, so as already mentioned, they keyboard setup is different. ( @"$ etc)

Is this a function of Windows, or is it built in to the computer firmware.?
I was wondering if I was to install a UK version of XP, would the relevent keys then have the same function as a UK keyboard, altoough I realise that the symbols on them would still be wrong, but I'm sure if this was the case, I could obtain replacement keys.
