Yes it does work. You can set it up so that a click on the bottom right corner is the right click and so forth. However, I find that a normal mouse works the best in windows.
Got a tip for us?

Of course they give us the option of Magic Trackpad to make things difficult.

The 3 finger operations do not seem to work in Windows VM or Bootcamp. Otherwise it works very nicely.

I'm getting the trackpad. I use a logitech G700 for gaming and for desktop use. It has 4 buttons on the side that are perfect for expose and spaces. I also already have a magic mouse and truthfully don't think it's all that great.

I picked up a new 27" on launch day and when it was brought out from the back of the Apple store asked about switching out the mouse for the trackpad. I then learned that was online retail only. I honestly didn't know. The sales clerk was cool though. Without a word she simply walked over to where the trackpads were kept, picked one up and handed it to me.
So, now I have both, compliments of Apple.
(That's on top of the $100. off promotion they're running on the wireless printer.)

Mine came with a magic mouse, tried to use it for a day and couldn't. Even with Bettertouchtool, I can't get used to the acceleration.
Sold it on Craigslist for a Magic Trackpad, which doesn't get much use either as I mainly use my Razer Orochi.
You can try this little app to kill mouse acceleration. It's called MouseFixer2:

I got both, I was checking out at the apple store and asked my guy if I could get the track instead of the mouse. He disapeared for 10 mins and came back with a trackpad. He subtracted the price from the imac and added it in later.
He said "I hope I dont forget to remove the mouse from your box (wink wink)"
I left with both. I'm loving the track pad btw.

What do you mean by acceleration? The speed in which the mouse moves across the screen?
I say brilliant because the magic mouse sucks, I mean really really really sucks. It's a step above the nub mouse, but still one of the worst mouses I've had the displeasure of using in a long time. Maybe my hands are just too big, but I can't give up my Logitech MX1100 for that pile of crap. So I'm taking the trackpad for use when DJing 
I want the trackpad... I heard it was amazing! I need a gaming mouse more than a trackpad, so I'll go for that.
