Are there some good drivers available to make the PS 3 controller work with Windows 7?
Also, can I use it wirelessly?

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.
Power A offers a controller that has the same configuration and larger size of an Xbox 360 controller, the Pro Elite Wireless Controller. It does have a bunch of varying reviews on Amazon however, and I have no experience with it so I can't recommend it either way.

I have successfully used an app called DS3 Tool to use a PS3 controller on Windows 7 64 bit. I did do it by cable though, it does also apparently work with bluetooth.
It was a bit of a hassle to get setup, but once it worked allowed a lot of customization and worked very well. Just follow the setup instructions closely.
