Vertical scroll works quite nice but horizontal scroll seems to be supported only by a few applications like Notepad++ and Firefox

Natural scrolling: If enabled, indicated by two vertical arrows  in the system tray icon, the scrolling direction will be inverted so users of Mac OS X Lion or later have the same scrolling experience under Windows. There are two different Natural Scrolling modes:

Magic Trackpad only	System wide
New in version 1.2. Needs administrator rights via TrackpadAdmin.exe and a reboot to apply scroll settings. Works on all Windows 8+7+Vista systems. Does not work under Windows XP.	Same as in version 1.1. Might not work on all systems. If it works, it works on Windows XP as well.

When using the version 1.2 mode Windows User Account Control might ask for permission to change system settings. Answer with Yes to apply the new settings. Now you need to reboot your system in order to make these settings active. You will be asked to reboot your computer. If you don't reboot your computer, the new settings will become active on the next reboot.

Bottom buttons

The Magic Trackpad has two bottom buttons. By default the left button is used for the primary click and the right button is used for the secondary click.

Secondary click: Enables the secondary (right) click with bottom buttons.
