The only down-side is that if you ever need to stop your computer booting at the setup screen, you need to keep a cabled keyboard and mouse around to attach and use, since the wireless stuff only works once the drivers are loaded in windows.
Not the case for Mac, which has built-in generic drivers so the mouse will work with no installation. To get the cool proprietary software tricks, you will probably need to install the driver, but I didn't.

I have a Logitech wireless keyboard, and it works all the time, no drivers
(unless you want the extended keyboard features, which I don't use). The
keyboard communicates with the base, which looks like a keyboard to the
computer. It works at boot for BIOS setup, etc.


Cool -- what port does it plug into?


Hating to reply to my own e-mail, I think there is a way that I could plug mine in and have it recognized right off the bat. Perhaps I'll try it and see if it will work for me. As it is I have it plugged into a USB port, but I think I can plug the receiver into both mouse and keyboard ports with an adapter and in that case it should work as generic keyboard/mouse for BIOS setup control.
