Stupid question:
Does the MAC mouse still have only one button? No right click or scroll button? How can a MAC run XP in virtual mode when the user hardware is incompatible?
You would be wrong. Macs have supported multibutton mice for over a decade now. ALL new Mac desktops ship with a two button mouse (yeah, it doesn’t look like it has two buttons, but it does). The laptops have only one physical button (for a reason that takes entirely too long to explain but it makes sense), but since most people tap the trackpad on laptops to click instead of using the button, it’s no loss. With the laptop trackpad, tap it with one finger to left click, tap it with TWO fingers at the same time to right click.
The Mac (pay attention to the capitalization, please, a MAC is a Media Access Controller aka a network chip) isn’t one-button-limited. I’m posting using Mac OS X right now, and next to my Apple keyboard is the same Logitech 2 button optical scroll mouse I’ve used on Mac OS for years.
Not stupid at all.
Mac mice now have 2 or even 3-button capability, and scroll capability too. They hide it a little for the sake of not pissing Steve Jobs off too bad, but they have it.
On the notebooks (like my Macbook), the touchpad accepts a 2-finger tap as a right-click. It works really well. No direct equivalent of a scroll button, but you can tell the touchpad to do it for you by dragging your finger over it. (These settings are all user-settable preferences.)
Control-click on a Mac is right click, and does one ever really *need* a scroll wheel? Besides, a Mac correctly interpets input from a two-button plus scroll-wheel mouse (which you’ll have left-over if your last PC had a USB mouse).
