 From the arduino hardware description http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Boards:
"[The Uno] is similar to the Duemilanove, but has a different 
USB-to-serial chip the ATMega8U2"
and
"The '8U2 firmware uses the standard USB COM drivers, and no external 
driver is needed. However, on Windows, a .inf file is required."

I don't have a Uno so I can't test it.
