Interesting read. And one takeaway is that someone is missing out on a huge opportunity with the trackpad driver :-) But the really interesting thing is the software vs hardware design challenge at Apple. From a revenue standpoint MacOS is really a small business at Apple, but its Microsoft's "iPhone" (aka one of their main revenue drivers), so it isn't surprising that Microsoft is investing more than Apple in that space.

GDI+ is the culprit here more than any one company's driver. Windows won't have an as-nice-as-OS-X experience with touchpads until GDI+ is either overhauled or dead and buried. Which makes me sad, because there are really nice things going on with Windows right now, but the feel of using it is janky and weird to me.
