I gotta say after teaching folks how to use computers since back in jr high in the mid 70s, if you can simplify something when you start out, it helps. folks that have pointed out that not everyone is a computer expert that buys a computer is very true. I still come across folks that have had and used computers for years and they still dont understand many aspects of their system, including the right click. Apple has always drawn the type of user that has the desire/talent/interest to do something, but doesn't always care much (at least in the beginning) about the machine and how it works, so getting them doing something fast has kept them a profit making company when most others have been knocked out of the pc market long ago... Apple has continued to mine the PC market for folks that get frustrated with the complexity of their pc and want something more direct.

I dare say that apple has it right, start simple and when you advance you can buy a multibutton mouse that fits your brain (mine has 5). Apple users are smart enough to realize this, pc users, well... now I'll duck!

sorry apple bashing poking gets a response from me. i have had too many good, fairly controlled situations comparing the two platforms head to head with striking results.
