Yes, the HSM indicates Hyper Sonic Motor, so it will autofocus with the D60.

Yeah! I was trying one out instore on mine, and it was great. I was about to buy it, but alas, too much money for me. I will be getting it (or the sigma) in the near future when money appears.Don't forget the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8!!! I have one and it works perfectly.
Here's a quick nothing special grab shot of my daughter with my D40 and a 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens that you "can't use" wide open at f/1.4.
You CAN use older lenses via manual focus, and a lot of times it's not even a big deal, particularly with wideangles or fisheyes. For more normal length large aperture primes like the 1.8 or 1.4 50mm, yes it's difficult to get precise focus. But it's difficult to get precise focus even with autofocus too, especially for moving targets. Still, you don't have to be shooting large aperture primes wide open to enjoy them. Stopped down you can still enjoy their supreme sharpness, color, contrast, and light weight, and have relatively easy manual focusing at f/2.8 and smaller apertures.
Some of the faster lenses (F1.4-F2.8) are hard to get the right focus. Also, it kind of defeats the purpose of a "fast" lens if you have to manual focus, especially if by the time you turn the ring whatever you wanted to shoot is either gone, and you missed that moment. Unless you're shooting landscapes or portraits, manual focus sucks. The only reason I upgraded to a D70S from my D40 is because I could finally use my 50mm F1.8.
