Bootcamp / XP / Only one mouse button?

Was looking to get a macbook but have just realised they only have one mouse button on the laptop. Couldnt see a second mouse button so how do people get round this when using windows through bootcamp? Loved it overall but I would still need to use windows xp

Either alt+click or on OS X you can press two fingers on the trackpad and click the buttom for a secondary click.. I think this is supported on XP now

Or just get an external USB mouse?

Nah wouldnt want an external mouse as that would defeat the point in the mini laptop

two fingers tap on the macs rule along with the rest of the touchpad features like two finger scroll. its a shame my PC laptop touchpad can't be setup the same.

When you install all of the drivers that Bootcamp puts onto a CD for you one of those is for the mousepad two-fingers function, and there is also a little app that makes ctrl+click a right click.
