Although the mouse doesn't directly support my preferred platform, can I still use it?

Yes. The Goldtouch Mouse supports all relevant PC industry standards. In practical terms this means that the mouse supports the dominant 2-button and 3-button standards which, in turn, are supported by most PC operating systems such as, OS/2, Linux, etc. That said, you may need to experiment with your configuration on those platforms which are currently not supported directly. Alternatively, you may find that the mouse is automagically supported after you plug it in.

What is scroll/pan and which (Windows) applications support this feature?

The Scroll Control Button allows the user to scroll and pan with the latest software(e.g. MSWord97, Excel97, Access97, Internet Explorer 4.0) - uniquely designed to reduce unnecessary repetitive movemeents of the fingers and hands. Scrolling and Panning features will work with other applications designed to industry standards for a wheel mouse or compatible hardware. Scroll mode works like rolling the wheel; pan mode works like pressing the wheel button.
