Heheh....that's pretty cool! I always wondered why they made the scroll wheel for one direction but not the other. I figured it was just because more pages needed to be scrolled up and down as opposed to left and right. Might have to look into getting one of those when they come out. Thanks for the link. :)

I been doing the same thing with my Logitech Trackman FX for last 18 months. Glad MS is catching up.

This look pretty kewl - Microsoft always made the best mices. I just need to find the optical, wireless, four button + wheel mouse version. I do look forward to that, though. MS seems to be heading in the right direction

I'll stick with my MX700 :D
with most web pages @ 1024 width theres no need for me to use horizontal scroll.
