But in conclusion, what's really funny: people who complain about
that option are the ones who *are* going to roll out their own

In my mind, what's important is the ergonomics of the thing. You must admit, Jean-Michel, that your laptop situation is not the general case. In my field, we have people dropping like flies of repetitive strain disorders associated with using the mouse. If you can do it with a single click, that should be the default. If it's as easy to change the behaviour as you say, then changing TO double click FROM single click should not be an issue for anyone, should it? :-)

My thoughts exactly. And to back up his point, I'm 21 and I can't do a mouse with my right hand anymore, my forearm hurts to much if I try (so it's not carpal tunnel, it's something else).
