hj2k_x - If you have a window open in the background it doesnt have to be the "active" or "selected" window for you to be able to scroll. All you have to do is have your mouse over the window and scroll.

I hope that makes sense. Think over lapping windows, but you can see the a bit of the one at the back. you can scroll the window at the back or the one in the front, depending on which window your mouse sits.

Ubuntu does it, wherever I move my mouse I can scroll. Think it's normal on Gnome and KDE.

The other thing I love about the new trackpads is the 3 finger functions - left and right to go back and forth in internet browsers, jump through images etc, up and down to jump to the top and bottom of documents (ie you don't need to press fn + up or down). Rotate and pinch is just amazing in Photoshop CS4. I really don't understand why people have so much trouble with mouse features in OS X - it's all right there, incredibly easy to understand or figure out, and so much more effective than windows. Left and right scrolling with the mouse? Awesome. And I'm not talking about that dumbass 4-way arrow that pops up with windows.

Without a doubt the multi-touch trackpad is a huge step forward, that's one thing I still dislike about windows laptops is the basic trackpad. I'll choose a macbook over a laptop anyday.
