"Owners of Microsoft's Wedge Touch Mouse won't receive update."

Now I haven't looked into the whole "touch mouse" idea but that seems really lame.

I'm betting they mean, it won't receive an update right now, but sometime later.

What about the Tragic Macpad, I mean Magic Trackpad. Did they sell more than 10 of those things?

Touch mice? These mice cost how much?

Am I the only one that sees these are rather pointless? add gestures that you can do on the mouse, to do things you could do with a normal mouse to start with? Like:
"You can select which gestures correspond to snapping, moving, minimizing and maximizing windows, and switching between tasks."

I could do that before, and rather easily, with no problems with before on a standard mouse.
So now I can use a mouse, to do tasks on top of it, that I can do using a mouse? 😵

Looks like a work in progress. Might be interesting after a few dozen revisions.
