Not only has edge scrolling never been the default on Mac OS, it hasn't
even been an option. It wouldn't really even make sense on the Magic
Trackpad, firstly because it's so wide, and secondly because your finger
would constantly be at risk of falling off the edge onto the desk.

I'm not an expert on Windows trackpads. It may well be that they are so
much smaller that edge scrolling makes more sense there.

This problem was reported again in bug 861446 for MacBooks specifically.
