I'm in the same boat and just ordered a new iMac.

My old dell laptop was 32bit and going forward w/Win8 you need 64bit. Going to use VMWare Fusion 5 to run Win8 in 64 bit.

Your post didn't mention it but how are you booting windows on your Mac?

You can configure two finger click on the trackpad to work as a right click. It's in system preferences.

I am pretty sure that is the default configuration for two finger click on the track pad.

For those new to Mac, make an effort to learn the track pad gestures. I actually found that I abandoned the mouse all together in favor of the track-pad. It was not a conscious decision I just found that as the gestures became reflex, it was more efficient to use the track-pad. The big ones are two finger right click and two finger scroll. The two finger scroll is far more efficient than the scroll wheel on the mouse.

thanks for that!
