I've had my first product from Dell for less than an hour and I'm already regretting it. User experience trumps everything because the device that does what you want it to will get you farther than ones that don't, regardless of specs. I wonder how many cars would get sold if the manufacturer decided to make the car turn left when the user turned the steering wheel right, regardless of the mileage, horsepower, or aesthetics that the car had to offer. I kept thinking to myself, if the animation can do it, it must be possible but if I am to believe you, it's not. I kept thinking that there must be a way to reverse it because even the little animation in the Gestures settings box shows the viewing area first moving to the right when the two fingers move right, then down the page as the two fingers move downward. So not only are you confusing users coming from different makes of laptops, you're confusing users going between two different features of Dell's own Touchpad by sending the page in opposite directions with the same directional movement of the fingers, and then give users no way to change the direction to their preference. It's even completely opposite to the Touchpad's Scroll & Zoom feature found on my very same laptop which, when I move my finger downward, the viewing area moves down the page as expected, and moves right as my finger does, again, as expected. This is completely opposite to every laptop I have used in the past. When I move them up, I expect the viewing area to move up, not down.
When I move my fingers down, I expect the viewing area to move down, not up.
The frustrating thing for me is how counter intuitive it is. I to am having the same problem with Gestures, primarily having no way to reverse their default directions.
