I hate having inadvertant changes in pressure be interpreted by the mouse driver as a tap. It's hugely annoying, and the first thing I do in Windows is turn all of it off. I want the pad to track position deltas, and when I want to push a button, I'll push a button. If I want to scroll around, I mouse over to a scroll bar, push a button, and move the mouse. That's another bunch of shit that immediately gets turned off in winodws. Software that attempts to be smarter than the user never is.
