In Linux or Mac OS X, every window I hover over registers mouse wheel events without being the focused window. For instance I can have two windows open at the same time and scroll in each one of them without clicking either of them first.

Can this behaviour somehow be translated to Windows? Is there a tool or a hidden preference that I can set?
