Then explain why i can right click? if you have a regular mouse, or Apples "Mighty mouse" you have a right click, it's always been there...
Mac desktops and all laptops come with 1 button mice. Obvisouly, Apple wants you to use a 1 button mouse. All PC laptops and desktops come with 2 button mice. I doubt you could even find a 1 button. I don't know who at Apple thought of the 1 button mouse. Its a totally useless idea.

And because of that they developed (along with the right click option, and the Might mouse) the control click, so if you are using the 1 button mice, then if you hold the control key and click it's the same function as a right click..

If i could play my games on a Mac... hands down Mac > Windows... i'll even say that in terms of just an os to an os and leave out the game part

So it would take 2 hands (on to click the mouse, one to press the control key) to do a simple right click on a Mac. And you can't full screen. Too bad nobody bothers to deveop games for Macs. Why is the gaming better on a Mac? The only thing it really has going for it is a more efficient operating system but that is offset by the lack of gaming hardware available and the expensive of Apple computers. You can build a PC far cheaper than a Mac and you will have better hardware since you can't throw whatever video card you want into an iMac. If you want the upgradeability, you have to buy the ultra-expensive Mac Pro and even then you have to buy Apple components(also expensive).

You need two hands if you have the mouse with only one button, but like he said, there is one with two.

And dude, just learned to accept that some people prefer mac's than pc's.
