I run all 3 OSs in my house.
My main computer is my macbook pro, which I love. I used to rag on OSX a ton, but I tried it out and now when I go to a windows machine I miss things like expose and quicksilver.
I run a quad-core windows machine (which used to by my main machine) for gaming and other random windows only stuff.
My fileserver is ubuntu server and sits headless in my basement. I just boot to it and then ssh in from another computer to do anything.
I used to run ubunutu desktop on my old alienware laptop and I liked it a lot. I never had any problems with it that prevented me from doing things.

That's what I'm saying. Unless you only have one finger on your right hand

Yea, using a PC laptop with a track pad drives me nuts now...
I always hit the right click just cause I expect there to be one button.
Ctrl/Double Finger-Click is so much easier.
So is two finger scrolling... I hate the trackpad scrolls that are just on the side of the pad.

seriously guy?... seriously?
why do you need to do all that when you could just push ONE button instead? As I said, shits retarded and having a bigger button for your uncoordinated hands is no excuse lol.
"why have a home key when you can just push shift+ctrl+letter". more to the point, why have any non-function keys at all? lets just make a keyboard with 5 buttons and make every character out of an elaborate key combination. AWESOME!

its not bad, lol i always found it more akward to right click with a normal track pad anyways
also there are very few times in OSX that you have to right click anyways...
its a whole different design paradigm. Mac has always been more focused on keyboard movements and less on precise mousing. Stuff like Quicksilver, and Expose are a testament to that. I throw my mouse down the to lower left corner of the screen and it shows me all my windows. I need to launch something I double tap the command key and type the name of the first few letters of the app and press enter.
