A friend of mine loves the big cinema display,and he was wondering if it would work with a PC?
(Of course I told him to buy a Mac,but consider this as a first step in the right direction for him  )

i'm not sure it'll work.
your friend will HAVE to get an ADC to DVI adapter at the very least. Oh yeah and s/he will have to have a grafics card with a DVI out port (i almost forgot that part, duh).
After that it really is a matter of whether windows will know what to do with the monitor. i assume it will work.
Do you have to update windows software when you install a new monitor??? The fact that i'm unsure of this makes windows all the more idiotic. =)
good luck

Uh, I think the fact that you're unsure of this makes YOU all the more idiotic. The answer is no.

Yes, it can. Originally some folks had the older DVI versions running off ATI DVI output cards and custom power supply setups. Definitely not the recommended method. Just get a drbotts DVIator and hook it up to any DVI equipped card.
