I would like to know if Apple Magic Mouse works on Windows 7 (x86/x64) on non-Apple computers.

Here are some checklists:

x64 compatibility
left click
right click
middle button?
vertical scroll
horizontal scroll
bind additional gestures to keystrokes?
are any usage problems?

In case it works please advise on how to get the drivers.
