Wow, thanks for the link! This is great, and by great I mean horrible
and depressing.

This has been the case starting with the X220 (except it still has
physical buttons for the trackpoint). I was wondering why they were
going with this design point, and recently I figured it out. Users who's
been addicted to Macs are hopelessly lost when trying to use an average
trackpad with physical buttons. I actually had one friend not remember
which button was the primary click button (left) anymore.

Anyhow, the mouse button thing is a bit scary, but not as scary as all
the other Haswell related issues. Again, all rather depressing. I was
thinking it might be time to upgrade from my X220 since I've more or
less fried the USB3 port on this machine and would really like a higher
DPI display, but it sounds like I should maybe wait a little longer
until this machine really croaks. This laptop is nothing short of a war
machine.
