Even MacOS X (yes, the Mac!) is going to have options for multi-button mice. 
Even then, people still have the choce to keep their 1-button mouse if they 
want. People have the final say in what they want, not some monolithic 
corporation that doesn't really care about you, only about their wallets. If 
only MacOS X was like that in other departments also. For example, presently 
the GUI look is not easily configurable. Also (more as a side note), Apple 
recently asked VA Linux to remove Mac-lookalike themes (Aqua, AquaX, eMac and 
eMac-GTK) from their themes.org website.

        Your mouse has moved. Windows must be rebooted to acknowledge this change.
