Apple doesn't remove it either.

Windows:

- the extra key is added next to the Enter key to accommodate # (number sign) and ~ (tilde)

- The £ (pound sign) takes the place vacated by the number sign on the 3 key

- @ and " are swapped (to ⇧ Shift+' and ⇧ Shift+2, respectively)

- (the list goes on for another 4 or 5 items)

Apple (emphasis mine):

- The # symbol is replaced by the £ symbol (as on PC keyboards); the # is available by pressing ⌥ Option+3

- The " and @ keys are swapped.

- More recent Apple British keyboards move the backquote/~ key to the left of the Z key and replace it with a section sign (§) and a plus-minus sign (±), respectively.

And that's it.

Well. It's three differences compared to US layout, two of them are basically exactly the same as PC versions.

> Back tick is in the wrong place, hash as already discussed is in the wrong place, forward slash is in the wrong place, double quote is in the wrong place, @ is in the wrong place.

Apart from back tick the rest are consistent with PC layout.
