It sounds like there's a mass storage device in the hardware with a
program that autoruns. So it's true that no software installation is
needed, but you still need Windows. This is an increasing common approach
with USB hardware for Windows - 3G modems, the Flip video camera - as it
means you can use the hardware even if you don't have administrator
privileges.
