How to use Wireless controller with USB Charger on PC

Question

I have a wireless xbox 360 controller and the USB charger for it. Can I use it to play [wired] on my PC without having to resort buying the wireless receiver for windows?

And if so, where can I find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit (if available)?

There is no way. Microsoft made it so the Play and Charge Kit only receives power. I believe there is some other data that is sent to the controller as well that someone decoded but there is no data sent to the computer from the controller. I will try to dig up a link.

On the other hand, you could just buy a wired controller, those are about as expensive as the wireless receiver, work on both PC and Xbox/Xbox360, and you'd have an extra controller for a friend.
