I just want to see how many people here likes the one button mouse better, and vise versa.

When you think about it, it makes sense why Apple continues to push the single button mouse even when the majority prefers a two button mouse. It boils down to four points:
1. As the only provider of the single button mouse, Apple can get guaranteed sales of those mice to people who want them. They are serving that market where there is no competition for them. They need to make money after all.
2. You want a multibutton wireless mouse? There are other companies that provide them and Apple shouldn't compete with them because they can beat Apple on prices, and if Apple does compete against them they might drop products for the Mac platform.
3. A multi button mouse shipping with Macs might tempt developers to go to far with contextual menus, etc instead of sticking to the OSX design ethic. We might end up with a mess like Windows is.
4. Instead of a two button mouse, develop something completely innovative that fits in with OSX's interface and won't work with any other OS (which will cause drooling Windows users to switch). Think of a controller similar to the iPod but made for the column views in iTunes, the Finder, etc
One question: Can't anyone develop a tool which allows me to use my iPod to control apps like iTunes or scroll and select in the Finder?

For those of you posting here and like the one button mouse. I have a bluetooth mouse coming from apple that was shipped out today. I was going to use it with my powerbook, but decided not to go with it. If you would like to buy it for 55$ please message me.

I will stick with one-button mouse even though someone gave me a two-button (or more) mouse.

Agreed. 1 and 2 button mice are hardly the extent of the available options.

Don't start new threads when one already exists... why waste everyone's time just because you can't take the 30 seconds to skim the topic listing?
