Mouse wheels behave just the opposite in Windows and Mac OS X. When playing with a web page, the action that scrolls up in MS Windows actually scrolls down in Mac OS X.

Is setting in either OS possible?

This affects mouse and trackpad alike, if have have both. It's something you were shown when you logged in after Lion installation for the first time.

See this How-To-Geek article to get reverse scrolling in Windows using AutoHotkey.

what about in MS Windows? – onemach Jan 26 at 7:21
@onemach See that last paragraph with the link to the How-To Geek site. It's not supported by the OS, you need additional software, e.g. AutoHotkey, for it. – Daniel Beck Jan 26 at 7:33
