Using my MacBookPro in the office as a Windows XP Machine via Boot Camp, I finally got nearly all the settings right. One of two problems which remained was that I always had to manually set the time when booting into Windows. Various tips such as "syncing time on startup" didn't worked for me, because I am sitting behind a firewalll.

Today I found this nice tipp on in the forums for www.mactechnews.de which worked fine for me. Finally, I don't have to change my time settings. Just make the following entry in your Windows Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 SYSTEM
  CurrentControlSet
   Control
    TimeZoneInformation
     RealTimeIsUniversal

and set it to a DValue of 1. It worked for me. Now Mighty Mouse horizontal scrolling remains my last problem under Windows.
