Yep you can
From http://www.apple.com/displays/:
Now you can connect the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display or 20-inch Apple Cinema Display directly to any PowerBook G4 with a DVI port. This DVI connection also removes all barriers to using an Apple display with a PC. If your graphics card supports DVI with DDC technology for widescreen viewing, you should be able to use these two displays with a PC.
Read somewhere that the 30" works as well.

He/she was talking about used displays, likely an ADC. I have seen folks use an ADC display on a Windows machine, but I don't know if there are any software issues with that.

I have been using Apple Display with my PC for few months now, so far, there is no software issue with it. The only thing is that you are unable to set the brightness and the on/off 'button' won't work. To get rid of the on/off problem, I just set my PC to turn display off when it's idle for more than 3 mins.
