Since the MBP trackpad only has one button, and control clicking doesn't work, how DO you right click on a laptop? Or do I have to settle using a USB mouse?
Got a tip for us?

Right Clicking
The easiest way without getting a pc mouse is to single click on an icon and on your keyboard press and hold "shift" + "F10" (Note: the menu may appear in the upper left corner of your screen).
Let me know if it works.

Here's a windows app that enables ctrl+click for right clicking:

Just place a shortcut to it in the start menu under Startup.
Hopefully someone (Probably Apple) will create a nicer trackpad driver that includes ctrl+click and scrolling.
