Apple Magic Mouse works on Windows 7?

I repeat that I haven't done this.
Apparently there are drivers for Windows 7 as part of the Bootcamp package. They can be extracted and run separately. No Apple hardware is required. I suppose that the link that you post automates the process.
I admit that I was looking for this sort of thing in the hope of getting an external device for Win8 that supports gestures. (The Microsoft Touch Mouse might be a better choice, but I worry that its battery life is poor.)

Correct, install #1 then #2.
Bobkn- I agree a Microsoft touch mouse would probably be a better choice, it's designed to work out of the box. It seems the OP has decided on a magic mouse though

Thanks, I do know about the Microsoft mouse, but I have already ordered the magic mouse so. Plus, I would prefer it over the Microsoft mouse. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, is there an apple mouse that looks exactly like the magic mouse, but it has a scroll wheel?

Just to add to this, I have a mac and I have installed windows 7 on it. The magic mouse does work on it however since it is a specialized device you must have drivers from apple. Boot camp does install those drivers however I haven't tried to extract them for use on another computer because my desktop doesn't have blue tooth.
You get almost as much functionality with it on 7 as you do on mac however the 2 finger swipe doesn't work. You do have the basics: right/left button click and wheel scroll. According to wikipedia use can be further customized using third party software however I don't know what there is.
As for comparable devices I don't know of any.

Some possbilities
I came across these utilities, but as of this posting have not tried them yet, as I need to backup/create restore point first. I will update as I do.
This video shows the demo of the tool located in the comments section of the video.

seems to have good feedback from a user on another forum, but again I have not tested.
