The Apple Magic Mouse drivers have been hacked to enable multi-touch support on Windows 7, according to uneasysilence.com.

Thanks to a little hackery from Apple’s Bluetooth Update the Magic Mouses driver was extracted via WinRar resulting in a 32bit version and a 64bit version that you can install on any ordinary Windows PC that will enable all the scrolling ‘magic’ of the Magic Mouse.

You can download the 32-bit drivers here and the 64-bit drivers here

Windows drivers packaged as an executable? Sounds like a virus to me...

first time installing drivers? lots of companies providing their drivers as self extracting archive - dell for instance! :D but don't worry - have some antivirus software and go for it! :D or better - go and get a mac! ;)

I was being facetious. I have nothing but Macs these days.

That's not quite fair. iPhones are not Macs to the average Joe, they are iPods with a phone. iPods are not Macs, and never have been, yet without hundreds of millions of PC users buying iPods from Apple, Apple never would have become the financial power house, music industry busting company it is, and probably wouldn't have had the ability to come up with the iPhone, or push it into the market as they did. I was PC user for 20+ years until I fell in love with iPods and iTunes; and even then it took the switch to Intel to convince me to switch to Macs and OS X.
