PS/2 going away anytime soon?

Going to purchase one of those IBM clone keyboards as a gift. Said person hates the windows key, but it seems I can only get the PS/2 version and not the USB version without it. For you guys running the latest and greatest motherboards, have they started to phase the PS/2 port out yet?
 
You don't need to make yourself a headache from that question.

USB controllers for PS2 keyboards and mice are widely available, for less than $5 - and unless your PS2 device of choice consumes extraordinary amounts of power (like, for example, wireless ones with long-range transmitters), they work absolutely fine.

Like this one here, which I'm using for my own kind of irreplaceable specialty keyboard.
