Sorry to be critical, but this is, well. The following can be said to better explain the situation:. It is not possible to 'use' the iMac camera under Windows 7 (to take picture) without seperate 3rd party software.
The following UVC cameras are supported on the Mac: HD Webcam C310 M/N V-U0015 P/N 860-000259. Mac and Windows operating systems treat Universal Video Class (UVC) webcams differently. While a Logitech webcam driver for Mac wouldn't necessarily result in more benefits for the webcam when in use, it would limit compatibility with some applications.
So in a clean 'out-of-the-tin' setup, the camera is there, functioning as a device, but you have no way to use it. the bootcamp drivers need to be installed and this process then enables the camera as a device you can then use with your chosen software. AFAIK most popular messaging/chat software will sucessfully use the camera (Skype, Live Messenger, etc).
Most WebCams come with 'capture' software to allow you to capture pictures etc. However the Apple iMac built-in WebCam does not come with any appropriate windows software of this sort. So, from a 'technical' perspective, the answer is 'yes, it works'. But, for a user wanting to take a picture, the answer is 'No, it doesn't work' What we could do with is sugestions on how a user can 'take a picture' using the built-in camera.
This will require sugestions of appropriate software that allows 'photo capture'.
