Sherrill MacBooks... and some issues.

We have discovered an interesting quirk about a certain line of 13" MacBook Pro models.
Known issue:
After installing Apple MultiTouch support in Windows XPSP3, we discovered that these machines started behaving erratically... their boot times jumped from a one-minute load-time to anywhere from 5-10 minutes.
We investigated the issue and explored a number of options, but for the time being, we have disabled Multi-Touch Support in Windows XP.... :(
I know, I know...

this means no two-touch scrolling, no right-clicking, no gestures, and no pinch-and-zoom under Windows XP.  Luckily, the library has provided a number of two-button scroll mice for Windows users.

Needless to say, MacOSX still has multi-touch support.

We are working diligently to find a solution and are in contact with other providers that use these particular hardware types.
Expect an upgrade/fix for the Spring 2011
