PCs work just fine on the Airport. I used my Dell running Windows 2000 Pro on an Airport network.
The Airport is all based on the Lucent hardware. You can download software to manage the Airport from a PC, though it only comes with the software for the Mac. The cards should all operate on the 11Mb standard, I forget the number. As long as the cards all run the same standard, and you can get drivers for your OS, you should be fine. One note: XP has integrated the wireless software in it. I has some trouble getting XP to find my network right after I upgraded, but I eventually figured it out.
