Why does the magic mouse or wireless keyboard not work in the bootcamp partition of Windows 7?

I just bought the new magic mouse and wireless keyboard for my macbook pro but they only work with the Mac side. I asked the apple store experts at the time of buying the products and they said the mouse and keyboard would be fine on PC. Am I doing something wrong? It is drivers? HELP!!!

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz), Mac OS X (10.7.2), Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Bootcamp

I also just installed Windows 7 on a bootcamp partition in my iMac. I installed the latest 4.0 bootcamp drivers but my magic mouse and wireless keyboard will not connect with the computer on the windows side. They have no problem with the mac side which has Lion. The iMac is about 4 and one half years old, but has a new hard drive after the old one died. I previously had Windows XP on the bootcamp partition and the wireless mouse and keyboard worked fine. Windows 7 sometimes recognizes them, but then never connects. Are there any other drivers available that I could install to solve this problem?
