Xbox controller on PC

Can I use the xbox controller for PC, by simply buying the PC receiver. Or is the controller itself different so that it can work on both pc and xbox.

Also where do people get their XLpoints from and what do they spend it on?

If you buy the wireless gaming receiver that'll work fine, or you can just use a wired pad as it uses USB.

Ok cool so the 'wireless for windows' controller @ £27 simply contains a receiver otherwise is same as the normal wireless controller @ £24?

Not quite an accurate acronym, xbox live points.
