So now that the Macbooks are using Intel chips I have heard it is possible for you to install a copy of XP/Vista on them as well as having Mac OS installed. Is this true? How does Windows cope with the single buttoned mouse? Are there any other issues or things I should know as I am considering the purchase of a laptop.
 
Yes, it's true.

You can go for a dual boot method, Bootcamp, or a virtual environment, parallels.

One button mouse? Who needs a second button when you can tap with two fingers for right click? :p

I would suggest posting this in the Linux, OS X and OSS forum aswell, maybe a nice Don could move it. :)

Wahhaa. Is that really what it does? Tapping the Apple mouse with two fingers effects a double click? The mouse can actually detect that?! :eek:

The touchpad does, the mighty mouse actually has no buttons, but can right click conventionally. :)

Two finger scrolling also rocks.
