MouseWheel properties are equivalent (#2791)
* MouseWheel properties are equivalent This was never clearly documented. We supported IntelliMouse drivers on Windows 9x systems. `NativeMouseWheelSupport` told you if the OS natively had a mouse wheel installed. `MouseWheelSupport` told you if the OS had a mouse wheel installed OR an IntelliMouse driver was installed to give said support. The driver sent mouse wheel messages on 9x systems, but the OS didn't natively understand what that was. Also removing the OS comments as they can be confusing and we're long long past those days. :) * Fix name

The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.MousePresent%2A> property indicates whether a pointing device is present or installed on the system. This is usually the case, so <xref:System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.MousePresent%2A> almost always returns `true`.

The mouse speed determines how far the pointer will move based on the distance the mouse moves. The value of this property ranges between 1 (slowest) and 20 (fastest). A value of 10 is the default. The value can be set by an end user using the mouse control panel application or by an application using the `SystemParametersInfo` function of the Platform SDK.
