I'm giving training to a large group of people remotely and will be covering a number of application shortcut keys.

I've seen MousePose's on-screen display of keystrokes; is there a similar product for Windows?

The other features of MousePose (fancy mouse pointers, etc.) aren't really useful to me, just the OSD of key presses.

KeyPosé is a free alternative to MousePosé for Windows. You can see it in action in the screencast.

Here is a sample screenshot:

You can use the on screen keyboard to show key presses that comes with windows. When you type on your physical keyboard the on screen one highlights said key.

Thanks, I tried that already, but the only modifier key that highlights is the Shift key. – richardtallent Feb 4 '10 at 15:27

Presentation Pointer is a best alternative to MousePosé for Windows. It provides Pointer Effect, Mouse Clicks Effect, Keystrokes and even allows you to draw freely on the screen but not lock the screen. That's really an advantage of the program.

PointerFocus can display your keystrokes.
