@TheMatt: Yeah, but can you see those icons? I've met them. That means those keys don't work as F keys by default, you have to prss a modifier key each time. Even if there's a switcher like num lock, by default it's on the media thingie. Not to mention that I'm an oooold keyboard user, and if it's not divided into three groups of four keys, it disturbs me and can't find the keys without looking.
This keyboard might be good for people who mostly use office software and mostly with a mouse. Which excludes me twice.
(Sorry if this is a double post, the system didn't seem to notice my previous attempt.)

No F1-F12 keys? No chance getting one of these.
The F keys are there. They are the wee keys between the number row and the top shortcut row. You can see them better in the full pic: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/images/press/2009/08-04WCD5000_lg.jpg
