In this study, nearly two decades of thorough Inelastic X Ray Scattering (IXS) studies of transverse-like excitation in the spectrum simple amorphous materials are reviewed. A particular attention is given to the case of liquid water and other prototypical samples, through a discussion of both solved and still open issues. Finally, the perspectives opened up by the development of next generation IXS instruments with unprecedented contrast and resolution bandwidth are briefly illustrated.
