Complete and utter BS. The functionality of the trackpad has absolutely nothing to do with Apple's OS, other than the interpretation of the gestures. As far as clicking, scrolling, swiping, it's a function of the trackpad, which isn't even made by Apple. It works just fine on Linux or Windows, depending on how well the gesture code is working. So it's certainly reasonable to assume the trackpad not only works well on other operating systems, but also other laptop makers can and will implement a similar style of trackpad. Nothing at all to do with Apple. > Second question: Because I love seeing folks like you rage. Normal > people can handle it, abnormal people get pissed off and ask me to > turn it off. Grow up. Nick wasn't raging. Personally I think the iPhone signatures look stupid and unprofessional (in any language).
