They also dropped notcards on the groud for other residents to pick up ...
I have never used a bluetooth for my computer, but as long as you can get it to work with windows, I don't see a problem since it will look just like any other mic/headset to the software. Get whatever drivers you need from the headset manufacturer and follow their instructions on getting it to work with windows.

It will work to some extent. I hooked up a Linksys bluetooth usb adapter and connected my Motorola HT820 headset. Once it finally connected properly the quality was atrocious. After removing everything that caused static I still couldn't get a usable volume in or out.

I'm currently using a Motorola S9, with some small generic adapter that I can't remember the name of. It works fine, except it's mono only, even tho the headset itself is stereo.

I used a bluetooth headset with my computer. It worked great...for music. Even for music in SL.
When I connected it to voice, it stopped working.
Neither the headset maker or the forums here were any help, so I gave up and went back to my USB wireless headset instead.

Something to try for bluetooth headsets

What worked on another game: after starting up voice, you need to tap the bluetooth headset's power button even if it is already powered on. Otherwise it will not be listed under render or capture devices (guessing it does not register automatically?)
I wonder if this would work for you?
