Problem with all macbook pros.

[remerge]

All of you naysayers are really childish.

This a problem in macbooks and no this is not the way it's supposed to work. Let me reiterate for the Nth time, there are no delays in PC notebooks. So do not tell me this delay is necessary.

Well, since you've decided to ignore everything that has been said as to the purpose behind the delay, I don't think that your input has much worth.

Wow, glad to see this issue brought up again. I've since settled with press-to-click, but even that's not all that great -- increased pressure -> increased friction -> finger doesn't slide easy, and the click pad is moderately hard to press anywhere but the bottom. Anyway...
I did speak to Apple tech support and the guy saw why I would be having issues, but when he got a stock macbook pro and discovered that it worked the same way as mine, he quit trying to help and told me that's how the touchpad is designed, so I'd have to learn to live with it.

So, I emailed Steve Jobs (email: sjobs@apple.com)with my complaints and got a three-way call back the next day from Cupertino with some person named Jazz (tel. # (408)862-4703x270 ) and an Apple Engineer to reiterate that the touchpad was working as designed. So these problems still aren't fixed.
They don't understand that even though it's working correctly, it doesn't work well!

To fix, all it would take would be a few tweaks to the drivers, but Apple has no reason to do this unless more people bring this to their attention.
BTW, thanks for the support.

I agree - while it might be working 'as designed,' that doesn't mean that it's working well.

I ended up turning off 'dragging' - this eliminates the tap delay and also the inadvertent drag lock. Only downside is that when I DO want to drag, I have to physically press the button to do so. But, for me, this is less of a pain than the downfalls of the touchpad 'working as designed.'
