It may well be a good default when the buttons are physically separate (like on a lot of touchpads). But when the bottom of the touchpad itself is the button (ie the touchpad has a rocker, and you have to press down on the touchpad itself), the buttons technically _exist_, but they are basically useless.
That Dell machine got a lot of bad reviews for its horribe touchpad, and I used to not understand why people disliked the touchpad so much - it didn't feel horrible to me. But now I wonder if Windows has the same logic, and reviewers - like me - hadn't realized to enable the tap feature.
