Also, Windows 10 works this way by default.

KatMouse is a mouse wheel enhancement program.

The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering "universal" scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is default on Windows). This is a major increase in the usefullness of the mouse wheel.

Another (optional) feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a recovered window the active window.

There are also some nice window management tools. I like the middle mouse button press to put to the bottom of the windowset and longpress to pull to the front.

I tested this on Win7 so I'm not sure if it adds that functionality to Win10.
