Windows 8 and The Apple Magic Mouse

I am hopeful that Microsoft, an OEM, or a hardware manufacturer releases a mouse similar to the Apple Magic Mouse.  With the introduction of Windows 8, the metro tile interface scrolls left and right when using a mouse scroll wheel.  The Apple Magic Mouse does this with a two finger swipe, so it seems it would not be a huge leap to see this in the Windows 8 environment.



I love this Apple mouse, and I would truly like to see a similar approach for the Windows environment.

Have you used this mouse and do you think its features would work well in the Windows environment?


14 March Update: I've had the opportunity to use the Magic Mouse with my Windows 8 computer, and I'm quite pleased there was no need for a hack or new drivers.  It worked, and will likely remain my mouse of choice until something better comes along.
