As Tom D mentioned, the MSR minworks fits directly onto the Nalgene bottle. I used mine just last weekend; however, rather than attaching it to the 1 liter Nalgene bottle, I attached it to a 3 liter Nalgene Cantene so I had enough water for cooking, etc. It was very convenient: I just inserted the end of the hose into a creek, held the pump and bottle, and pumped away. It didn't take too long to get three liters in the bottle.

However, sometimes it's not so convenenient--depends on the location of the water source. I have at times been forced to perch precariously on a log to get the intake hose in cleaner water.

Since most of my water gets boiled anyway, it may be overkill; but better safe than sorry. On the whole, I'd say it was a good system.
