Are all you Apple users really enamored with the whole one button thing?
It's the fact that the company Apple Computerm has finally offered one. Apple has been notorious for sticking to the 1-button option. When computers first started using mice a single button was good for new users, but these days folks feel limited by fewer than 2 buttons. It's good that Apple has recognized this and has finally offered this option.
But OS X has right click built into it already
They've supported multiple buttons for 3rd party devices, but have never offered a multi-button option until now. It's always been up to the user to add that functionality later.

I've not used an Apple computer since the IIe, so I missed the one button mouse.
