I've adapted to it on the touchpads, though switching back and forth is a bit weird. It makes a bit of sense if you ever work with both an iPad and a touchpad on the Mac within a short amount of time. For the scroll wheel on traditional mice, I'm not sure what I think about the change there. For now, I've reverted where I use a mouse, due to it also impacting how games read it.

I'm not really upset with them trying to change this setting, and I can see it making some sense with trackpads, and someone on GDGT made a good observation that Apple no longer sells a product with a scroll wheel.

However, it seems to me that it would have been fairly trivial to program the OS to recognize when you're using a scroll wheel/ball versus a trackpad.

I also agree with you Bruno, that for me there would be a disconnect between the screen and the mouse.

I think I could probably get used to it after a while, but I suppose I just don't see the change as being necessary.

Anyway, go East Dillon!
