Is it possible to to use the XBOX 360 controller without the receiver?

Anonymous

I have a Windows 7 64bit laptop and I've installed the Xbox 360 wireless controller driver. My question is Can I use one(only one) controller without needing the receiver? I know that for 2 to 4 controllers i need a reciever, but does the PC connect with one controller?
