"Multi-touch"? As in pushing three buttons at once, say? Then two different
ones? Like those door locks you see on offices and other buildings?
Why would this be the way things are going with software?
Please tell me more. Or where I can get more information about this.
Thank you.

I'm not surprised, and I presume you're talking about touch and not
multitouch, which clearly is where all things are going, and I
understand has been patented to Hell and back several times over. I've
expected this to become the latest bit of hardware Linux users have poor
or no support for. It would be nice to be wrong about that though.
