Only if it is tuned to the proper frequency, Ira.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Mine works on the boot camp partition running Windows 7 Pro. As it's a Bluetooth mouse I don't see why it shouldn't work on a PC assuming the PC has Bluetooth, but you may have to download additional drivers for it to work properly.

Bluetooth and USB, among others, are industry standards
no matter the platform or version — if available that is.

Bluetooth and USB are connections mediums. A driver is still required.

And it was easy enough to use the google to find one:

Why would you want too?  Those mice are the worst IMHO.  I have had such poor luck with those.
