In addition, Apple released drivers for the Magic Trackpad for Windows users, which also allows it to work fully in Boot Camp.

The thing I miss most about switching from a PC to a Mac is being able to delete text in either direction, left or right, using either the backspace key or the delete key. Am I missing some way to do it on the Mac?
You can do that. Use the "fn" key and press the delete key.
Does The New Apple Magic Trackpad Work on a windows 7 PC ?
From the article at the top of this page: "Apple released drivers for the Magic Trackpad for Windows users." So, yes.
