Can the preferences be set so that the available gestures match those on the current MacBook Pro track pad?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and enjoy the gestures available on the track pad. The Magic Mouse looks like a great accessory, but I'm sure it would be frustrating going back and forth between the track pad and mouse if the gestures and very different between the two. Hopefully the preference settings can be used to make them very similar.

Can i show all open windows like the four finger swipe on my track pad?

On the MacBook track pad when i swipe downwards with all 4 fingers it shows me every window open at the moment. Is there a way to do the same thing with my new Majic Mouse?

Is it possible to program keystrokes as gestures or clicks?

I currently use a Kensington 2-button mouse and I have the right button programmed for Enter/Return, which saves enormous amounts of time in certain applications I use often. I haven't used the Mighty Mouse that shipped with my iMac because I can't program a similar modification (unless I am missing something).

Will the Magic Mouse detect my finger gestures when I wear thin cotton gloves?

I've found that when I wear thin cotton spa-type gloves, the trackpad on the Macbook Air doesn't register my finger gestures. I'm concerned that I might have the same problem with the surface of the Magic Mouse. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

How much more power drain does the Magic Mouse cause to a MacBook Pro compared to a wired mouse?

In a few months I'll be purchasing a MacBook Pro. I'll be setting it up as a desktop with an external HP monitor, an Apple Magic Mouse, an Apple wireless keyboard and a mini Displayport to DVI adaptor. But I'll also use it as laptop sometimes. And I'll probably bring it to school occasionally. I really don't like trackpads very much; I tend to prefer a mouse. So,when i bring it to school I'd like to use the Apple Magic Mouse so I don't need to use the trackpad. I would like to know how much more power using the Magic Mouse would draw from the MacBook Pro compared to a wired mouse. I'd also like to know how long the Macbook Pro's battery would last when I'm using the Magic Mouse with it . I'm asking these questions because the Apple Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth and I know that Bluetooth uses a lot of power.
