Agreed, the software install on my MacBook using the DVD drive has been limited to OS X, and Adobe Creative Suite. Most software is available by download these days.

And yeah I'm getting skeptical about the picture too now that you point out the mouse button. Doesn't look like there's much space for the palms to rest when typing.

I'm thinking the multitouch track pad won't look any different than the current form factor.

Quite right I think with the point about the digital movie push - it would be in Apple's best interest to get people off of their DVD fix and on to digital. As for installing software, how often do you have to do that while on the go? If you're on the road you could just bring your portable optical drive with you or download the software as many programs now allow you to do.

I say no way that picture is for real, what on earth would you need a mouse button the size of a ruler for? :)
