The mouse wheel does move up/down on controls as normal yes, that's not what I was referring to though.

But you can get a mouse that naturally scrolls sideways, and then the movement will be natural.

There's not really anything wrong with the desktop side of win8, at least I didn't have any real complaints after using it. It's metro that feels awkward to use with a mouse.

Maybe it's not supposed to be used on a desktop.
