The mouse was well-received, perhaps due in part to the disappointment most felt about its predecessor. Better tracking and touch gestures combined to deliver a much better experience overall."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/zt/auto/1258996352.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>The original Mighty Mouse (the one without the cape) came with Windows drivers, however the Magic Mouse did not. Now you can get them, albeit at your own risk since they are unofficial drivers. Well, to clarify they aren't officially released drivers, although it is official software. The <a href="http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2009/11/14588/" target="_blank">drivers</a> came from a recent Boot Camp update using an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrar" target="_blank">unrar</a> tool to free up a 32bit and 64bit version of the driver, however the 64bit version is broken according to the article. Magical.</p>
