Linux laptop at work died. (Or rather, the TPM died.) So since I can't 
program on the laptop anyway, I got a replacement macbook (pro?). Very nice 
chunk of hardware (altho surprisingly heavy for its size).

However, I find I'm already trying to click on my home Wintel machine by 
pushing harder on the mouse pad, instead of lifting my finger to tap or 
moving to the separate buttons.

Lack of personalizations like pointer trails, text size adjustments, etc is 
rather annoying, tho. And I literally LOLed when I went to the color picker 
for the desktop and it said "Would you like blue, or grey? Because that's 
your choices."

...so it really *is* exactly like with MS products? (Except that, 
presumably, it actually works?)

Um, no. It seems much less personalizable out of the box. That *might* be 
google locking things down, but given there's a whole bunch of apps to add 
pointer trails (when I looked up how to turn that on), I'm thinking it's 
just not built in.
