Do 'normal' microphones -- like this C::::> -- work as PC microphones?

Hello,

I'm looking for a microphone to record my voice with sometimes on my computer, and found this cool metal one on ebay:

but my question is, will just 'any' microphone work in the normal pink-colored microphone jack/hole of a PC? Is that microphone instead meant for plugging into something else, not a PC? Does the connector always have to look like this one to work with a PC?:

I'd rather get the first, so please let me know. Thanks.

That first one should work, just use a phono to mini-plug adapter.

Yeah it won't work without an adapter... it won't fit. It needs to have the plug as seen in the 2nd microphone. I don't see why you'd want a microphone without a stand though, you'll have to hold the microphone for a good quality sound.
