Yet as I have already pointed out here, and some people did in their comments on that article, the MacBook allows you to register a right-click simply by resting two fingers on the trackpad as you click. Unfortunately, the 2-finger tap is not available when running windows via bootcamp. The new Bootcamp provides for a work-around where one can initiate a right-click by holding the right apple-command button at the same time as clicking the trackpad button, and it's certainly better than nothing, which is what Bootcamp 1.0 had. Adequate in a pinch, but for people interested in using their macs in windows, I always suggest an external mouse.

So your "solution" is that you have to use THREE FINGERS at once to right click on a macbook. Two touching the trackpad, and one touching the mouse button underneath. While on a windows machine, it requires ONE FINGER ON ONE BUTTON. And you say the mac is the better solution. Let me ask you a question- are you high right now? ------------- Yet as I have already pointed out here, and some people did in their comments on that article, the MacBook allows you to register a right-click simply by resting two fingers on the trackpad as you click. But PC users must have their extra button.
